Easier said than done!! Before I did my first timed lap, I think I did just a single parade lap around the timed course. I *might* have gotten a run around the practice course, but I don't remember, now. For all the feedback there was in the steering wheel, I might have been sitting in my garage with the front wheels off the ground. When I went into the first turn (obviously too fast and completely on glare ice), I thought I was actually influencing the direction of the car with the gas and steering wheel. A moment later snow was flying over the hood!

You're right, tho, Becca: it's basically an autocross course, but without all that messy deciphering of cone directions.

No idea. They haven't been posted yet. On my 2nd timed run, I placed 2nd out of 3 in my class. I've been checking the website for results and will post back when I find out more.
