well i've watched quite a few times, and unfortunately i think actually DOING it is the only way to really figure it out.

Agreed. It is an absolute blast!

Yeah, like Frank said, don't blow a brake line while at the starting line - that would be my number one tip! lol

Jay summed up the tips well. Other than that, all I can say is don't go out and try and set fast time right away. Do the course conservatively on the first run to get a base time. If you go off course or hit cones, you don't get a time so you don't know if you are improving throughout the day. Put air in your tires before you get there. Jason's hand pump almost killed me! Relax, it's fun!
