I think I was so focused on not hitting cones and passing through all the gates that I was restricting my vision to what was directly in front of me, instead of piecing a cohesive line together. Coming from track-based stuff it surprised me how different Auto-X feels, from what I gathered talking with the more experienced guys, you learn to look past the cones and see the course instead. I'll be back next year! It's probably the most fun you can have with your car for your dollar by far.

AutoX is extremely twitchy but there's still smoothness to be had. Assuming that OTA doesn't overlap too badly with PITL, I should be back for another full season next year. I highly suggest hopping in with an instructor and see what we do differently than you. I'm no slouch but I also have lots to learn and find it insanely helpful to ride along and watch how other better folks handle themselves. My strengths is being able to maintain a good constant weight transfer and transition well left to right. So I can definitely help you there. Colin is where I'm projecting myself to be with more confidence. He's smooth and quick. Val is insanely good at pitching the car into a turn and getting it to turn well. A ride with him will guarantee you smiles if not a high ranking time at PITL. He tends to be more drifty but yet still quick. You might even say Colin and Val are two different approaches to the same result. I'm trying to be a blend of both to round out myself. Looking forward to more folks coming out to PITL next year! I still maintain I have more fun at PITL than other autocross events (nothing against them). Something about that trash talking timer makes me smile everytime...

PITL ran a double promotion and got way more signups than anticipated so yeah, it was excessive and I agree with that. Would've capped it at 110-120 and designed a smaller course. Still, it was a fun day - hope you come back next year!
