It is normal to run faster times with almost every run. As you get more proficient the first couple of runs will be much closer to your best run. There is always the run where you spin or collect a bunch of cones. If you never do that then you are not exploring the limits. Autocross lets you do that without damaging you car or yourself.

I just introduced my son to Autocross yesterday. He had a blast and he did spin the car in the slalom section. He came back beaming and saying that he smelled the tire smoke. He may be hooked already. He wanted to know when the list of run times would be emailed to him!
