Default Best tire pressures for parking lot autoX?

I havent experimented much with tire pressures much, so I was wondering what you guys run for tire pressures? I have stock potenza tires on a 2002 s2k. I have an autoX tomorrow and its a smaller type track in a parking lot. Suggestions?

I run 35 fronts / 40 rears for autocross events. The pressure seems to work well. You want just enough to prevent tread rollover, not not too much to make the tire overly stiff. Mark your outside edge of the tread with a orange crayon, take the car out for a run and see the results in how the marks are rubbed off. Then adjust the pressure accordingly.
