Sometimes we need the most basic things explained to us. I'm one who is trudging through this info alone with no one around me who has knowledge or even interest to disseminate autocross wisdom. So even though this may be a repost I am posting for those who are in the same boat as me.

From your link's recommended reading: Secrets of Solo Racing by Henry A. Watts
If you don't have it, you want it.
I really enjoyed that article. It's things I "know," but reading them really helps drive it home. I think I'll probably print out the hints and read them before I go live at my next autoX.
Very good stuff.
