I've had a few questions by PM. I think that they are good ones and I will address them here in the thread.
1) What sort of special equipment do I need?
Basically, none. You will need a helmet. If you have one great. If not, no worries they are available for rent. $10 for the helmet.
2) What sort of prep do I need before I Auto-X?
Check the pressure in your tires. There will be many tire gauges and a compressor there if you need to change pressures. You need to make sure that your wheels are firmly on. Check your lugs. Your seatbelt needs to work. Thats about it.
3) I think I want to watch the first time. I'm not ready to "track" the car. (Not a question but it should be addressed)
This is not a proper track. It's the parking lot in back of Buffalo Bills. They set the course with chalk and cones. You are welcome just to come and watch and/or ride. Trust me, if you do, you will wish you had run your car. The biggest factor in running at an auto-x is getting time in the seat. The more times you go out the better you will get. If you have a run and hit some cones, go off course, or go "slow" no one will make fun of you. We all do it. Some of the best drivers there (national champs amongst them) will spin out and hit cones. That is just part of auto-xing.
All that being said: Come auto-x. It will be the best $20 you ever spent.
