I've had passengers. No way to test handling. :)

No.
If not, should I bring tape or will there be some available at the event?
We normally have a roll somewhere, but it's a limited amount and only one color, so if you can bring some with you (that contrasts with your car color), do.

It's a Malibu...passengers don't change the handling much, but the screaming is a bit distracting....

You could print yourself a set of numbers from the templates on the Car Numbers page on our website. We always have some blue tape (and sometimes green) on hand. The paper numbers are super-legible and look great unless it rains.

Suck Less - Drive something resembling a proper racing line.

At least it's not going to rain.

If there's an award for most conservative first time doing autocross.... I think I nailed it.
