Autocross depends heavily on the course and your gearing. When I had 3.55 gears I'd stay in first but could have used second. I changed to 4.11 and am not using 2nd almost exclusively.

Thanks Chris… I was trying get a general idea on the car set up for the autocross… and that helps. I have never run an autocross event before. At the Optima Challenge autocross course it looked like most guys were shifting into second and then leaving it there… but I couldn’t tell for sure. Hopefully my 3.73 gears will be ok. I may have to shift into first if the course is very tight.
On the harness and roll bar I just meant it was a good idea. The USCA website did not say that a harness was required. When I first started out I ran the stock seats and three point belts. Running with the harness and some good seats with side bolsters makes it so much better (not getting tossed around) and safer.
