Newbie....

Hey guys like the title says I'm a newbie to competition racing and I would like like to starting doing some autocrossing or track events. I've never been a track driving a car before but I've been wanting to start for sometime. I'm really just looking for some advice and helpful input to help get started. If it helps I'm located in Northern Jersey. Thanks in advanced....
