It was fantastic.
Friday was the comp school run by NASA. It was a good setup and low key with only four of us. Definitely had a lot of good insight and the drills were good introduction for the provisional races Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday I qualified fourth in class, which isn't a bad starting spot for Gingerman (outside turn 1, but inside turn 2 and 3). Overall I was being conservative and safe. I left too big of a gap to the start or I could have jumped to the lead. I got in a battle with a Mustang and the water temps got too high so I made a trip down pit lane half way to cool down the car.
Sunday's first race was more overheating after working behind Rick's S2000. I was definitely getting a better hang of a very conservative race craft.
The second race on Sunday I was able to get out in second place at the start. To manage the heat I let the leader go and drove defensively in second until I could sprint to the end.
I have a new radiator on order and will be sealing off the intake of the radiator. That'll fix the issue and then some.
Below is some video from the Saturday and first Sunday races.

And what's your setup for the timing/cell phone mount? I've been meaning to get something decent for autoX.

I'm just using Harry's Lap Timer for the timing. It's within a couple tenths of a second for accuracy. Good enough to keep track of what's going on.
I use an iOttie mount (see link above). Simple, effective and I don't have to worry about taking my case off. I'm going to wire in USB power ports so I don't have to worry about charge level on my phone or goPro going forward.
