well if you had fun you should give this a shot when it comes to your town.

I did Phase I and II. A very interesting couple of days. On the phase II day it was raining like a monsoon and I was sure we were going to call it off. Nope! we were driving full song with the wipers going full blast. *CRAZY* Talk about learning the limits of your tires on wet traction.
Then in afternoon session the sun came out blazing.
SOmetimes I think if your average Autox club charged more and gave you more laps, I would autocross a bit more. I understand the need to max out club membership but some events I have been to just have just too many cars. To spend six seven hours of a day off and get less than 9 laps is not time effective for me. That's why I like the PCA events, although not always so competitive the turn out is usually the smallest of the half dozen clubs here in the tri-state.

here's a couple of tips that helped me
1-drive with your shoulders not your wrists. (this is true in karting, autox, all ms's)
2-try to keep your shoulders pinned to the seat back, don't sway your upper body left to right like your on a boat. Keep the torso straight and up.
3-keep hands glued at 9 and 3 o'clock. Place a yellow piece of tape at 12 o'clock on your steering wheel so that you notice when you are shuffling(taking hands of 9 and 3). This becomes a habit a find myself doing on the streets.
4- lean your head in the direction of the cone you are approaching. Cone is pointing left, lean your head to the left. do this religiously and you will get in the all important habit of looking 2 gates ahead.
5-draw the course on a piece of paper and stick it your center console. You can study it while you are waiting.
6- try the CG-Lock for your seatbelt, a good investment for $20 buck or whatever.
