ahh...i'm going to sound stupid...

This autocross stuff. What exactly is it ? You just drive around on a track ? how much is it to go ? Do you need anything done to your car or checked out before you go? How skilled of a driver do you have to be to do it ?

:bow:

do autocross a couple of times to sense the limits of the car than then get on a real track.


for autocross all you need is a helmet and $20.

whats up joey,
you just need a helmet and usually 20-30 bucks... if you dont have a helment they have loaner helmets at the event..

another thing: your car must be empty, you cant have anything flying around inside..

im glad we are getting a good number of responses, i will look into some dates and will see if everyone can agreee on one..
