I don't think the time it would take to downshift to first and then upshift back to second would be overcome by the increased acceleration of 1st gear. best to just stay no lower than 2nd.
Thanks.
OK - that makes me feel better. I still have a lot to learn about more acceleration, the limits of the tires, and hard braking. I did learn to brake hard for those clamshells, in order to transfer weight to the front so I could steer harder. I would over-do that, though, and brake too hard causing me to plow through the wall of cones. Let's just say I put people to work that day picking up cones
