D/FW Auto Crossers
Do any other RX8 owners here auto cross? I only know of one other rx8 in the area that auto crosses. Locally I think PCA really has great organization, technical tracks, and a very friendly atmosphere. I plan on attending many more of there events next season.
Who else wants to go? Season starts in March.

Events usually run from $20-$30... There are a few places around the area that they are held at. I personally like texas motor speedway the best (distance from home, surface condition, size of available track).

This quote from the PCA site helps drive home a good point, "...learn how to drive your car at its limit."

Do they ever have classes for total NOOB drivers? I've always wanted to autocross my Miata, but haven't had the guts to try it.
Additionally, on 'verts, is a rollbar required?

Roll bars are NOT required in SCCA autocross (for a street car).
