Ner? Scca? Auto-x

HELP! I'm a complete new guy when it comes to AutoX! I want to go to events but have no idea what I need or where to start. I ask for any help available.

start here:
SCCA New England Region

what mods do you have done to your car? you could either be in BP or SM2 for autocrossing, depending on your mods. what you need is a safe car with seat belts, a bolted/tied down battery, and a helmet. i would also suggest a lot of water, a tire pump and tire pressure gauge, and a good attitude and a willingness to learn. they're a lot of fun (when you're actually racing) and great learning experiences. there are a good group of people from RX-7club that attend most NER events, so im sure you'll meet up with some other RX-7s. my cars down still, and im not sure when ill have mine out to any events.

Check through the racing section of the forum. Lots of newbie/autox threads there.

i dont have any advice that i could give you that wouldn't be answered or that you wouldn't experience first hand in showing up to an event. my only advice is that you go and dont feel discouraged. driving and racing has a lifelong learning curve, so you have to start somewhere.

i hope to see you out there sometime this summer.

Thanks! I don't expect to do well, :P But that's the fun part! By being behind people you have lots of goals in front of you Hopefully I'll meet some you guys at the events this year.
