So don't worry about trying to shift down. Most of us aren't always in the best powerband, but there isn't much you can do about it.

Thanks for the times.. Cant believe my last run was slower. I totally felt like I pushed it harder on the last lap but never got a time the day of.
All in all it was a good first time experience.

I'm glad you had a good experience! One of the things I've learned after doing this for a long time is that sometimes a lap that felt fast will actually be slower. The laps that feel slow, or without drama, are usually your fastest laps. Quote:

Fun day of racing! Really cool to see a bunch of new faces and see you guys had fun!
Couldn't have been better conditions for the 1st event of the year for VCMC. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the season with UBC and PCA events! Double Pad FTW!!
Don't forget; if you want to get faster at autox VCMC has their Velocity drivers training coming up April 28th. I'll be instructing with many other experienced fast drivers. Usually there are two-three students per instructor and you spend the day working on different elements of autox helping you understand the sport and get faster!!!. Velocity is also going to be held on the double pad this year, which really opens up our abilities to teach more! VCMC Motorsport Club Forums - Velocity Driver Development

Assholes | i remember last year NCT#3 the course had 2 really tight corners
most of us stayed in 2nd gear
but couple of people down shifted to 1st and were running faster times, on my last run i got permission from the owner of the car i was co-driving and managed to cut off 1 second off my fastest lap 
but never would i ever do that again

With the double pad events this year I garuntee that you won't have to downshift to 1st this year. The run speed average has come up quite a bit. For instance in the NC miata I drove this weekend, I got into the rev limiter on 6 separate occasions in one run.
The courses are far more flowey and fast now, it is going to be a very exciting year at autocross. Tipping the car into a corner on limiter (95ish km/hr) is a blast.

At one of the UBCSCC Slush events this past year, there was an Elise from Oregon who came up for the event. He was downshifting into 1st I think once or twice every lap, but according to a guy who rode with him, he was definitely grinding each downshift... Don't think he was double-shifting, or not double-shifting well... I think he knew what he was doing to his tranny but he didn't care.
