I dig it! Though it seems like there is a certain pace that, once you cross it, the track gets sketchy. I can run in the 19.9-20.4 all day long but once I start to push just the tiniest bit more, I get all out of shape. Bumps and crests in the pavement kick the car around quite a bit once you pick up the pace. I managed to squeak a 19.3 but have no idea how Tom got down to 18.0....
With most of the hard-braking, 90-degree turns, I think passing will be fairly easy... though they'll all be "stuff" moves.

I'm using Justin's Sonoma setup and I think it works well allowing me to put down power well out of the slow corners. The final hairpin is a huge sacrifice complex where I give up the 2 previous turns to enter that one with 2 tires on the left rumble strip to make the angle less than 180 and slow way early. Don't get too close to the center wall at apex as it has a curb that really screws you up.

FWIW all my sets were either Ted, Julian, or Justin sets slightly modified to my taste. I think this Sonoma set works well with lower grip and bumps better than the Sebring one we started with so I think you'll find it helps. I'll share it Sunday night if I get back in time from the two day out of town autocross I'm heading to straight from work today.

One of the fast guys coughed up a setup last night that I saved. I finally got down to the low 18s with it. I don't yet feel like I can attack the track, more like just hanging on for dear life.

Nice. I'd be curious if it was better than yours for my driving style.
There is a ton of off camber where I roll into the throttle with steering wheel completely straight knowing I want to turn because the throttle is going to take care of it. I got a lot of it wrong at times and knocked my toe out of wack. I tried doing many laps with messed up toe damage and you still can go reasonably fast.
