Wonder how much switching tires would have helped

I wanted to. But then my clutch started slipping.




I wish I still had my old car.

In 4th. You don't use 4th in autocross.

I don't think that's how that works.

Yep, noticeable on track with repeated shifts during 20min sessions. 8 50+ second Autox runs while being mindful of condition wasn't bad, just coming out of tight turns there was either minor slip or use a little less throttle. I'd understand concern about taking it out on the track, autox is nothing on/to cars; comparatively.

I disagree. IMO, AutoX is harder on the engine, clutch, transmission. Track is harder on tires and brakes. With the condition my car is in, I'm more willing to go to the track than to AutoX. If I had the new parts on hand and ready to swap in tomorrow, I'd be less concerned about beating on the car. But I don't have that. I need to keep the car operational for at least a couple more weeks until I get all the parts.

"4 events" over 2 weekends. That's like 2 events...

I was doing GTA during your "4th" event. Berms > Cones.


Keep your pants on, it's coming.
