Things to mention:
1. I didn't get to walk the course before running due to a certain 13 year old son who didn't want to get out of bed (ah, the joys of fatherhood!) which resulted in getting to FedEx just in time to get the tires changed before Tech closed
2. It was a perfect day for autocrossing! Temps in the high 40s - low 50s
3. The course was fast, yet had several 90 degree turns that would eat your lunch if you came in too hot
4. Try to push things too hard and "off course" can happen -- there was a 90 degree turn right at the end that I came in just a liiiitle too hot into...
5. Last run was just being paranoid about being OC on the 3rd run
and finally
The car is a totally different animal now with the Konis and Hoosiers and other engineering changes I've made (all, stock, of course....). My guess is that it will take another event or two before I get totally "dialed in"
