1) What Jayson said. When you pick novice all it means is that you are only scored against the other novices as a separate car class.

2) Also what Jayson said. Speak up at the drivers meeting and we'll happily find an experienced autocrosser to ride with you and give you a few pointers. We may also have separate novice meetings and/or coursewalks (TBA.)

3) It is whatever you want it to be. Some people are there for the competition factor and others are there just for the fun.

And it's lots of fun

Thanks for asking,

Jon
