Not attending this event but I do autoX. Be a sponge. Ask lots of questions. Walk the course as many times as you can. Ask for ride alongs with the most experienced and fastest people you can find. Most importantly drive within your limits. When you're new it is best to make incremental improvements not one giant leap in speed.

Ah, will be switching to summer tires that day.
After this mornings snow I was glad I had not switched it out yet. Perhaps next.
I am going to keep an eye on the schedule.
