just pick out someone that looks fast and ask em to let you ride shotgun a couple times during their initial runs.

walk the course alot. And by alot I mean till you can close your eyes and drive it from memory. there is a "new to autocross" reading material with pointers around here someplace on the forum.

Addiction? Crack is an addiction... Autocross is an obsession!

And welcome to your new home... You will eat, sleep, and breath little orange things.

Pre-register and save 5 bucks. That's all I know.

Seriously, if you've got a question, just find someone and ask. We're a friendly bunch here.

BTW, nice lookin' car ya got there.

Best thing to do is let someone that's been around awhile drive your car while you ride shotgun...

Thanks for offering, I'll be glad to do it.

Welcome to the ETR.

Resist the urge for power mods. Keep the car STS2 legal and you'll have plenty of fun with it.

Resistance is futile.
