What would you tell a novice autox'er who's autox'ing their 370Z for the first time? Things like Tire pressure (front rear) , looking ahead, tips, tricks etc.
thanks

On stock suspension with stock tires I think I ran pressures of 38F 35R hot.
General setup tips:
If you like having a shiny car put some painters tape in the "conage" areas.
Recheck wheel torque at the track
Give the car a check a day or two before at minimum, check brake pads, brake fluid and oil level.
Remove everything from the car including floor mats
Wear comfortable running shoes that don't have a lip that is going to get caught up on the edge of the pedals
Bring lots of water
Technique:
Walk the track with a friendly veteran, they will talk you through car placement, braking zones etc.
Try to visualize the course you just walked in your head.
Take it easy on the first couple of runs and try to be smooth especially with throttle inputs.
You're far better off braking a little early and giving up a tenth vs running out of room and plowing around the corner.
