from Marina 7-24 and Santa Rosa 8-6...

Listen to the little SIX

Marina
Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa in-car

Wish we had courses like that in Portland. Santa Rosa looks like a mini road course. What fun!

One weekend bump

And an open invite to all to come run this course on Sept 3rd.
It always runs clockwise and quick.
Never seen an a/x use so few cones.

In the videos I'm approaching the top of 3rd in the long straight...That's 4th if ya bring yer FOUR.

Hey I remember that course in Santa Rosa! ...Just from a slightly different perspective. ...Listen to that VVTi at 6700 RPM.

...Thanks again for the videos Trekkor!

Here's my 1.8 with Supertrapp at Marina on 7/24. Trying 3rd gear around a sweeper and not making it.

JP, tell us about your gearbox, please.

Stock "N" 3rd is good to 87mph at 7300rpm.

I tried 4th once, cost me .020 seconds.

I admit that was a WAG.
It isn't the trans, it's HP.
My limiter is set at 7100, my tire size is about the same as yours. I usually shift at about 6500(hp starts falling off there)....unless I need that last little bit of gear so as not to *have* to shift....I don't mind doing 20 -30 feet on the limiter.
Here's a little vid. I couldn't quite bring my self to go WOT all the way thru this section in 3rd.
