i'd just like to say newbies are very very welcomed by me and the whole crew. auto-x is a very friendly environment with lots of MATURE people minus few ricers. but even those ricers are somewhat nice/cool as they know they are gay as hell if they floss their shit like they do at burger king and wendy's.
it's a cheap and safe way to get involved into sanctioned racing events. not to mention, you will learn the limit of your car and best of all.... limit of yourself. then you start to learn.
so it doesnt matter if you drive a shit on wheels, as long as it runs you will have fun. being competitive comes after having fun so dont worry a thing(tire, wheel, penis size, etc) and just come out. you will be glad that you did.
oh and i am not gonna pile up a list like i did last time... haha i dun have time to update and all dat shit. if you wanna come, learn more, have fun.... come out to the caravan. you cant? then das fine. but keep in mind only SOME of these events are relatively close to TECH. so while the events are closer to us... do it!! unless you are hardcore farkers like ryan clark and me... i am pretty sure you wont drive 3-4 hrs to an event. i dun care if it's 5 hrs away... if it's a 24hr event.

but more on that later.
just to let you all noobs know... i drive an automatic(sure, i have the shiftablility but still) 3100lbs+ honda. and i still kick ass yo! you have no excuse!
