Ya its always good to brake boost coming outta a turn.I also think my ball joints are shot which is making my car very violent and making alot of noise.Not so much before auto-x than after lol.
(the next hurdle is teaching your leg to keep track of which pedal your left foot is on!)

If you're talking about a Miata, it's unlikely that your balljoints are bad unless the car has been wrecked or driven for a long time without balljoint boots. More likely: the alignment bolts aren't tight enough and your alignment is slipping under hard cornering. Makes a horrendous creaking and popping noise.

No shocks are fine,just put new springs on it also.I could figure it out if i just went under it but i get arrovated to easily.
If you plan on doingmore autocross events and want to shoot them, try moving the camera up closer, there are several mounts you can use and then add a wide angle lens. You get pretty good results. This way you can see the track and driver and study what you are doing.
