Here is me setting up the course this morning.
Here are a couple of videos. I have a lot more on my channel.

My GF doing an awesome job with her first time driving the 2 at an autocross. She has only autocrossed 4 times before in her auto civic.

What kind of pressures do the BFg Sport Comp 2s like? I am replacing my AD08s with these tires for improved DD ability but I must autocross it a few times a year.
Here's a YouTube playlist I uploaded from an autocross last Saturday: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWWnNCgAPX6fTOlJgGJ726S4MoTjiwWS8
I did alright considering I'm still on OEM tires.

A lot. I had -2 degrees of camber in mine with 35-37PSI and it was not even close. I wore the sidewall of the tire in the front. I don't even have them on the car anymore. I put them in my Miata and have star specs on the 2. IMO the tires have a lot of grip but really soft sidewalls which lead to huge slip angles. To me there is just too much grip for how stiff the sidewalls are making it feel imbalanced. Here is a video from the 2 at that autocross.

I wore right through the shoulder at that event which is why I have them on my Miata which has -2F/-2.5R for camber so they can take the roll much better on there.

Too far. After it took 15 hours with the family to get back up here after visiting my parents, we decided to wait awhile before trying again. I may try and coincide my next trip down south with the baybottom crawl next year (if my parents will babysit my girls). My mom keeps talking about trading her outback in for a brz (which I don't believe) so I may actually have a decent ride for the event. Some friends of ours recently moved to Marathon Key so we'll have a place to stay for the night.

Yeah, I embarrassed quite a few people at the last event. An S4, GT500, and quite a few Civic Si's.

Excellent....
We had our event this weekend and we were planning for it to be a small group. (32 people total) The lot we use is long and skinny so the course is usually looped to get a decent length of a run. For this smaller event I decided to mix it up by just making it a loop with the timing lights about 10 feet apart. We gave each person 5 flying laps per run, and they got 2 runs per group. Worked out really well. You could definitely get heat into the tires which was great. It was also interesting because it rained in the afternoon so we got to run in the rain as well. Everyone liked the small TT event that it was. Times were in the 21-25 second range. There is a video of me driving a friends Fiesta with the car full of people. Once it gets put on youtube I will link to it here.

We went to Ft Myers for the 4th event of the season, a great opportunity to try the new Rivals on concrete which is very similar to Lincoln Air field. Great tires the like to be abused and very forgiven, they are loud but even when they are screaming they still are doing the job. After the test and tune day I was overconfident and overdrove most of my runs hitting cones like never, but at last I managed to get a decent run enough to pax 1st, I still need more seat time before Blytheville's Tour.
My wife shot this video with her phone, not very good quality but still gives an idea of the launching with Rivals:
This is the same video inside the car :

Andres thats the longest course ive ever seen. what does it take 20-30 minutes?
To walk, maybe. Ft. Myers is awesome location for auto-x, IIRC courses are about a mile in length. If you find yourself working out on the course, you may be getting a bit of exercise as corner workers are spread out quite a bit.
