I live in Northern VA and would like to try my hand at autocross. All i hear is "twisties, twisties twisties" so i figured ill take a break from drag racing and try this out. I need some general beginner info and stuff that is pretty specific to my area (like best tracks, fees etc.). Im driving a 1996 4 door gsr. Suspension wise i only have a dc strut bar (any suggestions for a lower tie bar compliment would be great). I also have a bear big brake kit and 17" racing hart rims wrapped in toyo proxes (which i am assuming will have to change for the track). Thanks in advance... Oh yeah, how long do they run autocrosses, is it seasonal, etc.

SCCA autocrosses are at FedEx field. There are numerous others at various venues around the area.

As mentioned, SCCA holds events at FedEx field. Events are also held (by the other MWCSSC memebers) at Rosecroft Raceway.

and I'm sure I missed a few others.

 

I've been to one single event this year.

That's right...there's only two real venues anymore. Rosecroft and FedEx. I miss the Colony 7 lot. That's where I took part in my very first autocross back in 1999.
