How do I know what class to register in. I have never done any kind of autocross stuff. I'm interested for sure though. What will I need, just a helmet? From my reading I just need to sign up for the novice group and that is all right? I don't even have a helmet, it says they will have loaners so I guess I won't need anything.

Post your current car setup (mods) and we will tell you what to run. They have loaner helmets if you don't have one (they are free to use). Only requirements are that your battery is secured, wheels are on with no wiggle/slack, seats and belts are solid, and the car is in decent running condition. Bring your car, some cash, and some sunscreen!

Lol, that's a hard one. I think you will be in SSM which is super sport modified. It could just be SM, which is sport modified though. Just register as SSM with your index as Novice. It really won't matter too much if you run in the Novice index which I would suggest.

Yes all you need it you and your car! They have free loaner helmets, some come prepared to have fun!
You will be in SSM, SM is the same just with more than two seats (mustang, evo, etc) and if it is your first autox I would recommend running at the lowest HP possible it will be much easier with throttle control.

I'm gonna make sure the wife isn't working that day, if not i'll get signed up this evening. The proving grounds are only about 20minutes from my house so I really can't pass this up. I'm kinda excited, I hope I can do a decent time with the car.
