Thanks everyone. You all seem like some cool people. Im looking forward to checking it out and I hope to be at one of the upcoming events.

I fear being ridiculed for having a honda where real cars belong haha.

You need to be in STM then.

There are plenty of friendly people around to help you out; just ask. Try to show up as early as you can so you have plenty of time to register, tech, and walk the course. Hope to see you out there!

You really don't have to worry about that around here. Everyone is super cool and eager to help.

when it comes to a-x … Honda's ARE real cars

Also, it sounds like the actual SCCA national class for you car would be SMF - Street Modified (FWD)

[steverife]

There are 2 kinds of autocrossers....

People who love Hondas and people who have been beaten by Hondas.

Hmmmmm people that love hondas.... don't love em or hate em... people been beat by hondas, so far that ain't happened and I don't see it happening, but I could be wrong on that but not so far.

Civic was my reference, should have been more specific...lol Jed also won a event in 2013, I think the last event we had that year.

[thrdeye]

Well, anyway, the civic/crx is one of the best all around autocross cars out there. The 88-90 Si has been good enough to embarrass cars that are much better on paper.

OP - your car should be fun. With the turbo, you're really going to have to modulate throttle out of corners though. Otherwise, you'll roast your inside front tire and end up going nowhere....unless you have a really incredible differential.

Joshua. Idon't know if your still following this thread but I'd add we have an events at the Smokey stadum that might be easy for you to attend. Its great fun and I hope to meet you. If your on fb search Lacy Pearl Mazda to find Sean McDonald easier. . Well talk.

Im just as new man. I cant remembered how many times I read through the manual to figure out class I would be in.

[MARKP]

Mmmm... R32! Welcome!

[dewittpayne]

The Solo Rules remind me of a software manual. It's useless unless you already know what you're doing and just need a reminder. It's also written as a guide to preparing a car. You pick a category that includes your car and then see what you can do to it. It's much harder to find a class for a car that's already been modified. The problem is that often a specific mod you've already done moves the car into a class where either it's never going to be competitive or that lots more mods are needed to make it competitive.

[griffjm9125]

Im not on fb but would like to know more about the smokey stadium events that only like an hour from my house.

[MARKP]

Check the schedule linked on the front page of the website. We will have two events there this year.
