Vids of driving event last week in Nevada
Awhile back I was hoping that some Acura's would decide to try the Quattro Club Drivers event in Nevada. Alas, none showed. We had a slew of BMW's show, couple of vettes, WRX, Saab 9-5 Aero, SS Camaro and some rental cars too! : )
Was good fun and a great learning experence. In the future if anyone is interested let me know, there might be an event (So Cal) at California Motor Speedway in the next 2-3 months, plus an event at Sears Point later this year. Here is a quick video of the track riding in my A6.

i went to buttonwillow in So. Cal last friday! ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
it really wore the shit outta my tires, heated them up ALOT, and my brakes too!
after only two laps, my car started NOT shifting!!!! the tranny got heated up soooo much, that it wouldnt shift outta second
it did that about 10 times throughout the day
the only way i could get it to switch gears was to slow down for about 20 seconds before i could finally drive hard again, until the next time it would repeat. really pissed me off.
PLUS , during the second session, my VSA snd check engine light came on!!! so i had to drive the rest of the day on the track with no traction control.
my car is at acura right now, there are two error codes, one was the O2 sensor, and the other they don't know yet, but it has to do with the VSA.

Are you sure that your tranny overheated? Maybe there was fluid starvation

That can happen with gas and oil when there is a lot of lateral force. I would recommend leaving stability control off though, it will allow you, the driver, to have full control of the car.

my gas was still more than 1/2 tank.
and my tranny fluid was just changed/replaced a few weeks ago
and it was very full.
it was the tranny heating up and not shifting. i know this because i ran it REALLY hard on the track, shifting hard, full throttling.
acutally, if i revved too high, that's when it wouldn't shift gears. it would stay up high, and every time i pushed the throttle, it would just bounce off the fuel cut off. so i would have to NOT gas it for at least 20 seconds, until it finally shifted to the next gear on it's own. the only way i could remedy this was to really pay attention and to shift way before the cut off. if i got it too high, it wouldn't shift.
it did this so many times
really ruined my day.
i'm looking at installing the tranny cooler soon
and my tranny fluid was just changed/replaced a few weeks ago
