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]

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]

I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...
Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...
Building the Tom Henry RS Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff. By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6. Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
