I think CAMC PAX is a bit soft, most likely because it is not a jacket class. If it was a Jacket class I'm sure there would be more involvement from the jacket hunters. Maybe I'll ask Tom Berry to drive my car this weekend and see how it does against our other top drivers in the region.

The CAMC index is *very* soft if you consider what is possible in the CAM rules. It's less soft if you consider the typical CAM build, which is a few hundred pounds overweight and probably not running 315 square Yoks on 12" wheels.

They aren't on the excluded list now. The Kumho V720 ACR still is. And the Cup tires listed are below 200tw anyways.

I would agree on CAM-T that it is soft. With minimum weight of 3000 lbs, that should be closer to STU. STU is probably just right IMO. They are lightweight, or AWD, or mid engine. If 315 tires are allowed, I bet 0.828 pax won’t last long... BS makes sense for modern cars that are well designed and fast out of the box. I would be curious to hear more opinions on subject of CAM-C vs STU pax if anyone cares to comment and provide some reasoning based on tires, weight, power and allowed suspension mods. |

Hi Apexit,
I am doing my first ever autocross day this coming Sunday at PPIR in CO with RMSolo.org (SCCA). I have a 2018 1SS 1LE, virtually stock. I have a lot of learning to do but was wondering what drive mode you think I should run my first session in to start my learning curve baseline? I appreciate any advice. Thanks. |

I've considered doing some of the winter autoX events but our SC3 tires are horrible if it's <60F. With a high of 45 you'll need a few runs with minimal time in between to even have a hope of your car handling normally, and it'll never get close to it's full potential. To help compensate I'd try running a few psi less in rear vs front. Maybe try 35 psi front / 31-32 psi rear. The car's handling is going to be REALLY off and totally sketchy at 45F on your 1st run, and if you go 1st it may be more like 35F, which is really below what the tires are designed for... the car is gonna plow like crazy... be careful and don't hit any walls!

I am honestly still contemplating whether I will drive or not for all of the reasons you mentioned. Thanks again! |

Reasons, track throttle is way too touchy for autocross. 80% throttle feels like 100% and that becomes an issue when braking. Sport mode is a lot more linier of a pedal feel.

I also get better results with sport sus, track may bet better for smooth surfaces but for PPIR I think sport will work better. I also leave my exhaust on track setting all the time, lol...
