OK. I'm pretty nervous. I'm going to try to autocross for the first time at the Porsche Parade in Charlotte. I need advise. My biggest concern is seeing the course layout. And overdriving. Or being laughingly slow. How should I approach this? I've been reading "Solo Driving Secrets", and done a couple of DEs, but an AX is so condensed. I think if I missed something I would get lost in a sea of pylons.

Anybody wanna guide me down (then over, and back, and over again, and back, and around to the left, then back down) this asphalt path? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
