I will also. NO I now refuse to help anyone after the scorning from those SCCA punks! 
I helped Chris because there were no instructors around. The next AutoX we had to hear all about how one newbie was helping another. I only hopped in there because none of the Chiefs were around. Oh well.

Guys, wish I could give rides and coach, but I will only be there till lunch. If you have the opportunity, get Joey Baltista, Barry Lai, Panos, Mike Friedman or Garry Kitagawa to coach you. They will really help you out. Some advise to keep in mind as you try to shave down your times to move to the front of the pack
1.Just remember, don't over drive the car. You sometimes need to go slow to go fast. 2.Watch your entry speed and exit fast. Let your ABS work for you rather than pumping.
3.Feathering the gas through turns helps to keep your momentum if you don't drive left foot breaking w/ same time throttle to keep boost up.
4.Focus on being smooth and not muscling the car around corners.
5. Expriment w/ your tire pressure. Ask the fast guys what they're running. Always check and adjust pressures right after a run.
6. Walk the track w/ an experienced driver and always look ahead when driving or all you will see is cones flying at ya or missing gates disqualifying your run.
See you ao on Sunday!

Well, damn, I might not be able to make it after all - https://www.i-club.com/forums/hawaii-43/anyone-got-spare-caliper-slide-pin-rubber-seal-84483/ . If I don't get a caliper guide/lock pin and the rubber boot I'm screwed until Monday!
