Got any tips? GXP-Miller and I will be catchin' some Gs, next weekend. Will our trannies explode if we leave it in first?

Never done Auto-x, but in the curves I usually leave it in 2nd. Powerband is just right at 60-100.

This is gonna be a tight course, not gonna see over 60 much.

Last month's for an example.

You have to remember that this is a heavy car although it handles okay for a large GM car. Top speed is not the object of the course but you need to keep the car in balance and sweep it through the curves. Brake slightly early because this car will under steer like crazy if you are on the brakes hard and trying to turn. It just does not work lol.
My trans survived the auto x but it was not to happy about going 14 times lol.

JP_GXP Aug 15, 2010 05:01 PM

It'll only be a total of 6 times for mine. :)

I don't plan on seeing over 45, and thanks for the tip. :D

Nothing's wrong with it, just never been to an event.

Our trannies are capable of explosion in ANY gear. :cry:

JP_GXP Aug 15, 2010 07:44 PM

^ True. I just meant hanging around 4-5K for about a minute, lol. Was kinda joking. I'm on my second and a half, my first was 'rebuilt' and still slipping. :-/

First two runs, slowest, getting a feel for it...

None of GXP-Miller, unfortunately.

EDIT: Got one, starts at 10:08

JP_GXP Aug 26, 2010 09:50 AM

Hawkins04 Aug 26, 2010 01:14 PM
