give me some info
ok, so.. i got a question. whats the deal with autoX? id love to give it a try when i get my liscence back, but is there something special about what car to use and what tire to use and shit? obviously im not going to want to use my damn 17s with kuhmos on them, but i also cant afford to spend 300 bucks more for some damn "good" tires for my steelies. btw i have a 88 crx si, should have a zc swap by the time i get my liscence back. any info/suggestions/whatever you got to is appreciated. btw, the car is lowered about 2.5inches if that makes any difference.

Yeah what Trip said. You need nothing special. There's even a guy who brings out a Buick Regal out there. I think it's a rental car though. Your Kumho's will do fine, better than my stock tires, which are in the trash now.
Oh, and you don't even need a license to race, just your signature if you over 18, if not then you need some kind of signed permisson slip, and 20 bucks, that's it!

1) bring you and your car out there on Jan 12th (check for official thread)
2) recommended
- bring a big rubbermaid tub to store your crap in
- bring a tire pressure gauge
- bring a license (an old one might work) just so you can get a helmet. they hold the ID while you use the helmet.
3) make sure everything in your car is securely down (no trash) and especially the battery.
4) new tires will be kind of slippery. my yokohamas were when i first got them, but now they're great.
5) the first time out, you come, you get aquainted, and you race and have fun. don't worry about anything else. everything else just falls into place. and we'll all help you with everything.

hmm... im gonna have to wait til i get my liscence back just because i have the front end of my car partially town apart right now. that and getting there would probably be a bit of a problem because im not too thrilled with the idea of driving my car without having my liscence. when will you guys find out about any events after the 16th of february?
