Good luck at the auto-x. A few tips since I think you said you've not done auto-x before but if so then you already know: Walk the course and squat down to your eye level when seated in the car to establish sight lines. Auto-x lines are tighter than track day lines. The rear tire will pass closer to the cone than the front. Keep looking forward to the next gate. Trust your tires, they're better on an auto-x circuit than you'd think. Start with higher pressure than track day setting, they'll only gain about 6-8 psi at most. Check pressures after every run and bleed off in line. Push until you spin, no shame in that and nothing will happen except for rubber dust everywhere. You have the seat belt anchor that will be worth a few tenths. A quarter tank of gas should do, but you'll have reserves in the can. A wheel spinning start will often lose you time compared to a small clutch slip starting from torque peak instead of redline. If he's there, talk with @Rio, I'm sure he'll share his speed secrets and maybe even ride along. Start hydrating the night before and bring lots of water, going to be a warm day.

Kick ass, your instant-on s/c will be a huge advantage. Hope you can post GoPro thrills, should be fun.

I've done autox about 4 times. Last year I did the Big NW autox and got 2nd place on my last run. Supercharger does help. I don't have a GoPro but if anyone wants to let me use their GoPro I'll be sure to use it.
