I am looking to get into my first autocross. I've read the rules, the do's and don'ts, what to expect, what to bring, etc... Now I just need to sign up. I went to this site:http://scorekeeper.w.../ww2011/profile and created a profile, register my profile and so on. I am trying to figure out what class my car belongs in. It is a 2002 with K&N intake, Berk headers, test pipe, and exhaust. No suspension mods or tire/rim changes. I listed it as Stock B according to this site: http://www.moutons.o...011/stockc.html
Is Stock B the right group?

EDIT: Okay, after looking over some entries from other people I noticed they were under a Novice class. What is the difference between NoviceAM and NovicePM? Time of day...?

 

I don't think B Stock is right due to the header and TP. However, you might be able to run that - I would check with the other people in your class to make sure they're okay with it. Also, if you're planning on running street tires, there's an indexed street tire class that might be a better fit. Check w/the group hosting the event for that.

Have fun!

 

Definitely not B Stock.

If it's your first auto-x - register as a Novice.

 

what lig said.

if its your first cone killing session they will put all of you in one group regardless of car/mods and elt you run over all the cones and miss most of the gates

 

Yup, excellent advice... I wouldn't worry at all about mods or car setup initially. Just put some air in your tires, clean your car out (no loose objects anywhere in the car), pre-register online for the novice class, and show up ready to have fun. The nice thing about being in the novice class is that experienced drivers will offer to hop in your car and guide you through the course and give you pointers - it's REALLY helpful when you're starting out and I'd highly recommend asking for an instructor on your first few runs.

BTW, if you sign up for Novice AM you can also pre-register for Time Only PM if you want to do the afternoon session too. I would pre-register for both AM and PM sessions since it doesn't cost you anything to pre-register, just in case you do the AM session and decide you want to stick around for the PM session.

Are you going to the one on Labor Day in Bremerton? If so, I'll see you there

 

Thanks for the advice guys. Registered as Novice.
skibbz - i will be at Sanderson Field on the 11th, if I can get that day off from work

 

Right on, I hope to make it to that event. I'm going to get tuned on the 10th or 11th though, so I'll have to wait and see if it's in the cards for me. If you see a yellow CR there, say hi!
