I actually did alright.
I ended up 13th out of 40 in my class (1.8 to 2.5 liters, N/A) in my debut race. My laptimes were pretty consistent and I managed 1'02".7 on several laps. By comparison the guy that won my class did a best lap of 0'59".8 and he was running race slicks (not DOT street legal R-compound), while I was driving on my undersized Good Year Eagle F1's. More than haf of the cars in my class were sporting slicks. Sure, You can't really calculate like that, but if slicks do give an average of 3 seconds off a one minute AutoX lap, then I'd have ended up on a podium on my debut race. so, I guess I did good.
