Damn, thats a tiny course. I think WaterFest98 was bigger! 
Some things I noted....

You turn in to suddently. Your not giving the tires time to adjust from
driving straight to a lateral load. Your are essentially shocking the
tires. "Oh, you want to turn, ok". Thats how street tires work.  Autox
tires work like "turn NOW AYE"! 

Also try not to wind in the wheel too much. Listen to the tires, they
talk a little and thats all you got with turning grip. Winding in more
steering more oftten than not wont increase the amount of turning grip.
the screaming of the tires and added wear of the tires is all you get.
You didnt do this too bad, just seemed that you were a couple degrees on
the wheel more than you should. It did sound like you have a set of
squealie tires on a smooth squeal prone circuit. So maybe im reading it
wrong. 

Use the WHOLE course. You leave a good foot to the outside if the first
left hander on the 3rd video. (Start, turn left, long right hander to a
left then straight.) You could of had a little more exit speed there, it
all adds up. 

Dude, come on out to SD anytime and ill show you a real autox course
where you can use 3rd gear even! We just ran our event in our "tiny" lot
and the aveage time was a mid to high 65 second course. :)
The only downside is we get 300+ entrants and only 3 runs. 

You running in SM?
