@ddriver22 Search the web for "sea of cones documentary" and that should take you to a good video about autocrossing. I'd post the link but YouTube doesn't like URLs in comments.

Great progress.  I could tell the last run was the fastest but just listening to the tires. Also, look at your body movements - they are more assertive and confident in the last run.

If you can start off the next event with the confidence of your last run, I think you will be downright threatening to other M3 drivers.

Good Job.
