Best advice - get someone to work with you at an event. Without knowing what you're doing on course, giving advice on here is tough...
Well, one piece - walk the course a lot. And see if you can walk it with an experienced driver so they can tell you what to look for.

Provided I am not working your run group next Sunday I would be happy to ride with you and even give you a ride if you like.

what do you mean about pushin my car to the out of control limit? please expand on that idea, I am on my way out for the evening, but tomorrow I was going to do a semi close to accurate map of the course for everyone to look at for future reference. When you came out of the start through the sweeper, you had that kind of hard right then back left slalom into the off camber sweeper that brought you full circle. As you came through that one cone slalom move into the what is basically a 360, you were not pushing the car so hard out of the slalom that you were way off and pushing out into the gravel. You held a pretty good and tight line around that whole thing that with a bit more time will produce faster results. The 'problem' with that whole section is that you can come off the start section with a ton of speed given its nice smooth radius and downhill nature, so hitting the slalom way too fast was almost certain for most of us which just screwed up the rest of that side.
