Wow, thankyou for the tips. I will try to apply alot of what you said when I go there next weekend. I think I will just take it easy at the beginning and just get a feel for the course. Like you said I will take a wide outside line and brake before the turn to reduce the corner radius and make smooth transitions. A question about heel and toe, by downshift you mean a 3-2 or 2-1 shift correct? Some people call that upshift. You blip the gas slightly when shifting to a lower gear to keep it smooth? I often shift to a shorter gear to let the engine drag a bit and help with braking. There is a slight jerk if you let the cluctch out quickly. Is that what you are talking about? Thanks again for the info btw.

Oh, the autocross is between Mattoon and Charleston IL at the Coles County Airport about 45 min south of Champaign.
