I live in Colorado and a buddy of mine wants me to enter my car at Bandemere on May 8th. By then I will have a few more mods done to my car but for now I just want to know what the best way to drive an auto is? Are there any little tips that can help me get a faster time? Should I have overdrive on or off? Any pointers would be great! Thanks

Colorado huh. What part? I lived in Colorado Springs for 18 years. Beautiful place. So far, I haven't seen anywhere quite as nice in appearance except for Seattle. Expect some real high times at CO elevation.
