i know that alott bmw people prefer oversteer, so to get oversteer make ur front pressure higher than rear tires pressure. it really depends on what u feel more comfortable with, over or understeer.

Remember that above all it is supposed to be fun. Don't be upset if you don't do well, and don't get discouraged. Oh yeah, eyes up and look ahead, but don't look at the cones.

No worries man. You'll have a great time. One thing I have learned about AutoX is it is all about the driver. You can have your car modded to hell and back and if you can't drive the stock cars will beat your times.

You may want to look into "R" Comp tires. It is really hard to compete with the guys running them. You will usually be one or two seconds faster on racing tires.

Learn as much as you can and race as much as you can.

Good Luck...

-Chad
