most stock cars, top of second being 60-69mph is pretty much the range considered safe at most autocross venues or just space constrained.

as for traction... that's just part of the challenge.

Main reason I'm not too interested in doing this (and I defy all the people saying that any daily driver makes a great auto-x) is that 60-69 is the top of fourth for me. That plus manual steering and brakes would make it such a chore, it would be no fun.

As was said before, with any given car its usually a 1-2 shift at the start and leave it in 2nd the whole way. Whatever your car can do in 2nd is your top speed unless you get into 3rd for a split second. You might see a Z06 on sticky tires get up to 70mph on a well designed course, but that upper limit is not for everyone.

I start in second, so second is usually good to 10-15mph. Third is good to maybe 30. With the stiff suspension and high center of gravity I doubt I'd want to exceed 30 anyway.

I guess I'll stick to not going to auto-x events then!
