[TSHACK]

I was wondering if anyone uses automatic transmissions on road courses. I remeber there was a few autoxers that did several years ago. It's not that I don't want to go to a T5 or even T56, I'm just doing the bad thing I do & think too much about stuff! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I even have a Hurst shifted T10 with everthing for the 74 camaro.

I have a lot of experience driving at Thunderhill with my '97 TA A4 car. It is a little scary in spots, even with the mild setting on the Trans Go shift kit I have in it. First to deal with is "auto drift" when the torque converter disengages..this is a little disconcerting, I remember that happening coming out of T5 (Crow's Nest). On top of T9 exit it did not want to downshift, you just let off the throttle a little bit and it will go. The next scary thing is going into of the esses out of T 11, you do not want that sucker shifting when you are in the esses, that could upset the car and head it into the wall there. Shifting at the wrong time and upsetting the car is a biggie that you have to look out for. Keep these things in mind and you should do fine.

Reason for edit: forgot something!
