I've done like 10 autocross events total in the past 10 years.

Any advice? I have an oil cooler, run e85 and will be running EBC yellow stuff and ATE fluid as that was all I could get under short notice. I don't expect to be a phenomenally fast driver so I think I will be okay? I'm more scared of fucking things up for other people making sure I get out of the way etc. Does anyone have a video or anything they recommend for etiquitte?
Oil cooler is good.

E85 is fine if you're on a tune for E85.

EBC Yellow doesn't belong on a track. It might be okay for your first event or two, but be mindful of your brakes. If they stop responding consistently, cool off the brakes by cruising.
