Don't disconnect the bar.

Just focus on driving the car. As a newb there will be plenty of mishandling on your part. So much so that it will make what ever problem the car has pale in comparison.

Just make sure you have air in your tires and that there is no tire shine on the sidewalls. Anywhere from 32-38 psi should be fine enough. For example, with my Toyos, they work better at 32psi than they do at 36psi.
Awesome...............thx a bunch.

Leave the rear bar connected. That's a trick that goes along with custom spring rates.

VSC off.

You will love losing your AutoX virginity, I promise. Just drive in 2nd, focus on learning the course and managing transition and braking.

big clear numbers and class
32 psi front and back
take an instructor with you every run. you will learn alot and not waste run by tring to figure out is going on.
let people know know its your first time.
if you can, go for rides with with other drivers.
most important.. look ahead and not right in front of you.

I typically run 32 psi front and rear - I'm still a newb, so I'd rather worry about the course than what I need to do with my tire pressure after each run.

The last course I ran, I stayed in 1st the whole time for my fastest times. Just gotta wind it out.

Keep in mind that the course was very, very tight. Most of the time, I just stay in 2nd.
