Default AutoX prep. and gen. info for a newbie

Hello all,

I plan on taking my R to an AutoX event soon and would like to know what I need to do to get it ready. I have NEVER been to one and would like a little info about what I need to do to prep the car. It is pure stock now and I plan on keeping it that way for awhile. I have about 4300 miles on the tires now and run them at factory pressure.

All in all I suppose I am asking for any *pointers for max fun while maintaining min damage on my car. Oh, Helmet suggestions?

BTW: I have been to the national and regional SCCA pages and local AutoX pages.

Thanks!

The theme for today is Hamo Eel

I would wait to get a Helmet til you know you are going to use it. Most of the people that put on the Auto X's have extra Helmets to use. If you like the event then think about buying a helmet. Make sure you put in a good amount of pressure in the tires. Stock Type R tires 42 front 38 rear is a good combo. Not much else, people usually are really good about helping people at Auto X's. U will have a fun time!

check out my website http://www.autocrossnyc.com and after the first page there is a link that says "Novices click here first" After reading that quick blurb go over to http://www.itrca.com and click on the ITR-Autocross-Track Guide. Good info on setting ITR up for autocross.
