Questions Before My First Event
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:31 pm
Good afternoon!
I am a complete newbie when it comes to any event like autocross. I used to own a Miata, about 12 years ago, but never autocrossed it.
I am looking at driving my first event at Bristol this Saturday and had a couple of questions:
My 2005 Scion XB was modified by the previous owner. They put a new exhaust, bigger wheels and tires, maybe some lower springs?, an air intake, and I believe a short shifter on it. Yes, it is a bit silly for a box, but it is what I have at this point. What pax would I enter this as?
My daughter is 16. Would it be possible for her to be my copilot for my first event? If so, what would I need to do for that?
I don’t have a helmet, but am looking at getting one. I saw there are loaners available at the event, but wanted to know what a recommendation is for when I go to buy one.
I appreciate your help and I’m looking forward to, Lord willing, being there with you all on Saturday.
Greg
