Even though I'm no "pro", I've been to several... so here's what I have to say:
Just take it easy... nice and slow the first few times. Everyone is a beginner at some point. The second you try to slam the whole course as fast as you can, you will fail miserably, run over a dozen cones, and everyone will know your shame
Slow in, fast out.
Brake, THEN turn. don't try any fancy trail braking or anything.

Go in with the attitude that you indeed DO suck at autocross, and you're there to learn."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"
