[QUOTE="mx_9, post: 1003526, member: 13431"] SVT: Yeah, it's an issue for two reasons..unnecessary strain on the drive train and the suspension gets upset (a no-no for autocross). 03: The focus was really on line selection and proper speed choices for each obstacle. I did all well..he just mentioned that I was snapping his head back and forth with my shift to 2nd. I figured I did not want to waste course time correcting something that wasn't *directly* related to proper line selections, etc. So, when you race you don't stab your clutch? You actually ease it out? Snkbtn: I guess the key is not so much lost time with the ease but rather keeping the suspension loaded properly by not jerking it forward and backward? I've got to mentally weigh the pros and cons although I know what the answer is. Thanks Folks..I figured you guys would be a good source of info. BTW, regardless of my shifting I was the fastest Novice and there was only one experienced auto-X'er that posted a faster lap than me! This was at a Novice school so the real test is the event I'm entered in on the 21st. [/QUOTE]
