I will be going to my first Roval event at Texas Motor Speedway on Sept 11th. Not only is it my first Roval it will be my first time out on a track. I am going to get a private instructor but I was wondering if anyone had advice for a first timer...

Listen to your instructors they know the course the proper lines and want you to have a good experience while keeping you and your car in one piece. You didn't say if you are driving an S197 or Fox body. If a S197 leave the TCS on. Also check out this website www.dfwautocross.com . Come out and autocross turn the TCS off then. I currently run in the SCCA Texas Region series. It is all I have time for now.
