I've never auto-x'd before and I'm going this Sunday for the first time. This is something I've wanted to do for almost 2 years (just months after I got my car). I've never been before, and the only performance mod's my car has are a catback, a ram-air, and cheep tires, so I know my times won't be good, I'm just looking to have fun.
I'm looking for any advice you experienced people might have. Also, anything I may need to do before then to get ready.
Thanks,
Rob

Most important thing first couple times out just get a feel for it, and don't worry about your times. Even finishing in last place is still fun autocrossing [img]smile.gif[/img]
and if you got spare time go play soem Gran turismo [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just have fun. Don't expect to win your first time, and don't be upset when you don't. MEET PEOPLE -- autocrossing is a wonderful community hobby / sport. Introduce yourself, and don't front like your V6 is badass. It ain't, and some mini will own your *** like bankruptcy.
I didn't even enter my first time out there, I just showed up on time, watched, rode along with people, and asked enough questions. When I came back the second time, I was a lot less nervous and more prepared.
Read the solo novice handbook linked from VRacer111's link.
Oh, and Wicked: the V6 can be badass - lots of V8 guys are now asking my advice on the course, and love trading cars with me [img]smile.gif[/img]
