First off, SCCA XP is a tough biddness......BTDT.
Learning a course by walking is an acquired skill. Ya gotta work at it. I found that walking the course twice ......with no distractions helps.......It's still a bitch.
You've got more car than I had......but mine was lighter. We ( when Brit was driving ) were suscessful to to and including National Tour events.
Ya also gotta learn "3 runs & you're done" mentality.
No one said it is easy.
Yeah, will take some getting used to... we've been doing PCA autocrosses for 20+ years, have won multiple class championships in 2 different PCA regions, gotten FTD multiple times and got top 10 OVERALL at Porsche Parade back a few years ago, but PCA is MUCH more laid back than SCCA (at least here on the east coast). I always walk at least twice (assuming we don't get there late) but when it's a few hours from walk to drive, it still takes me a couple runs to remember...something you don't have the luxury of with only 4 runs!! Obviously I STILL never got it right.

Nice going!
You can easily add some downforce in the rear by attaching a 10" spoiler to the back of your ducktail. Just use riv-nuts in the back of the ducktail, then bolt to spoiler to the ducktail. You will be surprised with the difference it makes.
You can use aluminum or hit tap plastics.
Oh, make sure the ducktail is securly fastened to the trunk!
This spoiler was like 8", but with SCCA it can be 10".
thanks for the suggestion Randal, but I won't be modifying the car for SCCA autocrosses...eventually Huey will be a vintage legal full race car once I can get an engine built and get another chassis to build a street car for the 3.2 that's currently in Huey...
To be honest, if we only did 4 runs in PCA, nobody would come. We bitch about having only 6....8 is what we expect. To prep the car, get up early, stand around all day for 4 minutes of "race" time is not very exciting. If that was all we did then sure, but track is our focus, Autocross fills in the empty weekends and gets us some seat time. My goal this weekend was to figure out the new suspension, though I'm not sure I got that figured out either....
