I think you might be confusing autocross and road course (or I suck at detecting the sarcasm). Autox is a small course that is usually set up with cones. In the ones I've attended you only get one lap at a time before going back in line to wait your turn again. The longest course I was on was probably a minute long and on a good day we would get 3 or 4 runs at it. These are fast courses time wise...top speed I've ever reached was probably 60 mph (although this may be specific to the courses set up in my area). The nice thing is that autox occurs pretty frequently and is cheap relative to a road course. I did it for a while...it was fun. But after riding with a friend at a 10/10s event, I'm switching over to the road course with the fox. The environment was great and I learned a lot about my car's capabilities at the time but I prefer the longer course and significant increase in driving time.I can't get the video to load on my work puter'
4 minutes seems like a really fast road course session? The last 2 times I was out on the road course each session was just about 20 minutesFWIW, it didn't really tear the tires up though
Yeah I agree with this. I barely noticed the wear on my tires after a few events. Just have to make sure they are pumped up to the right pressure.It's not too hard on them its aggressive driving for less than 4 total minutes. Don't think you will even notice the wear.
Being confused is something that I seem to have masteredSounds good Rob. Definitely looks like it picks up quick on the last straight.

I would also follow Rob's advice and shift into 2nd early so that you don't worry about it. If for some reason you are at a higher speed course that would push you past second, make sure you don't sit at redline. This would be unusual....I don't think I've ever encountered an autox course where I could sit at redline in second gear.I'm not sure if the auto mustang trams likes being manually shifted but if it won't hurt it that's the route would go. It's mostly second gear driving in my car. Basically pull off he line and short shift to second. It's a lot of fun. If you've ever drove a car before most laps are under a minute. It's only hard on the car for a very short period of time.
