You seemed to get one done and sorta point at the next one instead of keeping your turn going a bit longer to help you set up...I am pretty sure I could have made it through those first offsets at near full throttle!

Second, the two right hand turns that you almost stopped (it seemed haha) both could be taken at a SLIGHTLY higher speed and lots of time to set up for the next turn in both cases.

Both are very much beginner "learning the ropes" mistakes and will be better with more confidence in the car. Try to go along on rides with people who place high in the standings and see how they do!

Thank you for the feedback. I plan to keep on learning and get more seat time. The next event I am taking it to is the Rocky Mountain Shootout in a couple of weeks. I plan on buying a front sway.

I know after watching the video compared to seasoned drivers my steering inputs are too aggressive. More seat FTW!

You were too flat into that hard right. That made the turn tighter than it had to be, and you seemed to set your speed for that turn as if you thought you were on line. Those two factors led to that momentary "plow".

What other vehicle(s) have you autocrossed?
Thank you I used to autocross a 2009 Cadillac CTS-V sedan. Very fun car I achieved the fastest novice award in that car too in FS. That may be why I am aggressive with the wheel because that car with me and fuel was close to 4700lbs. Here's a video of that fastest novice run:
