    don't even worry about going fast, especially if this is your first autocross.. you'll probably get lost the first 2-3 times anyway, and after that you'll be hitting too many cones to worry about how fast your time was.

      Always look ahead.

      Plan 1-2 turns or cones ahead. By time you reach a turn you shouldnt even be thinking abot it, just react, as you think of whats coming next.

          well aren't you special.. on my first autocross I hadn't slept in 24 hours (worked that night) and it was pouring down rain so I didn't have a chance to walk the course and my map got wet and fell apart. I wasn't the only one who got lost, and being late in the season the course was pretty challenging anyway.

            Your preparation skills = owned.
