I will be attending my first autocross in Clarkston, MI. I will be driving my 02 Accord on Kumho ES100 tires. Any tips/pointers?

I'm most concerned about the helmet. I've read in a bunch of places that I need to bring a helmet. Will they have rental helmets there? Or is it absolutely necessary that I get my own?

Edit: I have a 20 mm RSB and no FSB, otherwise the car is stock.

they should have loaner helmets there.

other then that, don't worry about going fast. just have fun.

 

clarkston? huh, not too far from great lakes. never knew they had one up there?

 

back when i lived up that way, they ran at Pine ****/DTE Energy music theatre and at great lakes crossing.

both clubs have loaner helmets on hand, but if you plan to run more than a few events, buy your own helmet, trust me.

 

This one is at DTE. It is my first autocross, so I'll have to see how I like it before buying a helmet. A loaner will do for the day.

Do you guys think I will be okay running on stock suspension (other than RSB) with no front sway bar? The car turns much better, but I get tons of body roll.
