Which means we know we can't really go much shorter than 4.3 before 1st gear becomes so short that its useless (you dig holes on starts and go down rather than forward---and the car goes 1-2 car lengths before first is revved out---not a good way to start..
You were there. That was the Sunday course. I'm about three miles away from the turnaround which means about fifteen feet from the starting line. Didn't want to shift up then down then up because my trans shifts like shit so I just kinda soft pedaled it until the turn around, which is a decent chunk of why my times fell so far back.
Now, if you were to compare to the kind of courses we run in Ohio, especially the National Trail site like
where we're holding an event this weekend and you'll probably get 900-1000 seconds of run time if you show up, or the "Duel" happening on the 7th because pursuit racing on dirt is AWESOME, our speeds never really go that slow so short gears where you are going between 2nd and 3rd (which are always a lot closer than 1st-2nd) makes more sense.
So, what do you want the car to do? Always the first question to ask yourself before looking for an answer.
