hmm.... I see....
oh well. I give up. I just wanted to try few skid pad runs before my first autox..

My lack of near-the-limit driving experience has been holding me joining the autox...I think it would be very embarassing if I do bad at first time..

Don't look at it that way. NO one is going to laugh at anything you do. The hot shoes are busy worrying about their time and everyone else is just trying to figure out how to get around the course

This isn't to say you won't get tons of advice. Best thing you can do is look around next year in early spring for autocross schools. These give you lots of instructor assisted seat time for very little money (nothing like an Evo school or track day).

It's better than doing donuts basically in a parking lot, which believe it or not does not teach you near as much as you think (like where to LOOK when the tail comes out, not just how to dial in opposite lock).
