Perfectlap,

Thanks for the advice. Sammy's "friend" went with me on my 4th run and said the same thing - "Slow in, fast out" - my 5th run felt SO slow, but I managed to shave 2 seconds off of my time ! This was my 6th autocross, and I am learning a bit every time...

Sammy's got a couple of advantages, he is running Victoracers, he has an additional 50 hp, and he is a much better driver. I am seriously considering picking up another set of wheels and race tires for next year, not much I can do about the 50 hp, and I can just keep practicing and honing my driving skills.
