i used to auto x there. I would join you but my car is no longer set up for auto x

 

[slo-LS]

no worries!
it'll be my first one and i'm hoping to learn a lot and get comfortable, eventually working up to circuit. maybe i'll join you at some point in the future at buttonwillow or somethin :]

 

[slo-LS]

ps. any suggestions?

:]

thats a possibility. Heres a quick lesson from my experience, its a left hand turn or right hand turn, you dont have to drop the clutch and burn out. Either be on the gas or the break dont let it coast. dont be afraid to spin. :thumbs up

i know u have to have a helmet,how much can i get one for?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

its free rental.

 

[Insomnia]

oh koo,my car is all stock any thing i should mod,if i may ask?

 

[Samurai_Blue]

Its better to run stock than modified. That way you can get experience, come back and let us know what you want done. I ran lowered but no rear sway bar for the first time.

You will be in the GS stock class, i think i ran OSP or something so i could work the track when the drifters are out there. Remember respect is #1 fellas

Feel free to PM me if you have questions about the venue since im pretty sure im the only one whos tracked there

 

[Insomnia]

thanks,walk-ins are koo ?

check out these two links:

Autocross Classes
Autocross Categories

they should give you an idea on how your car should class. from what i understand, different car clubs use different classing methods, but these are a good rule of thumb. i know that norcalufo uses scca vintage 2009 classing.

and as far as mods, my car is bone stock, which i think is perfect for the first few (or many) autox outings. i suggest keeping your car as is and learning it as you learn the sport. it'll help you find and push your limits once you get better and then modding will follow. i'm doing the same -- this weekend will be my first autocross and i'm stoked to test myself and my car!
