I think I'm ready to take the Shinka auto-cross'ing. I've thought about it for a while, and have come to the realization that a number of car clubs in the area (met some folks off of importatlanta.com) are all about numbers and track times - so I'm stuck in a crappy position. I'm not a very good driver (not that I know, anyway) as I've never driven on a track, never drag-raced the 8, nothin'.... so it's time.

Anyone have suggestions on a place to start? A time to do it? I'm listening.

 

The ATL region has an autocross event 1/month I think. Several folks from here go to them. The Novice Class is the best place to start.

More Seat Time = Better Driver.

Gotta start somewhere and autocross is one of the best places. It's a safe, fun way to explore the car's and driver's limits and learn a lot!

 

What do I need to do? I have a stock-Shinka oh my hands...

Do I need to get any "extras" or anything addition before I hit the track? When/Where do I sign up?

 

make sure you got a spare set of tires.. cause there's a good chance you will shred the stock ones...

 

follow me my friend. i am the local autox junkie. I will chat with you on IM tomorrow when I am back in the office. been kinda busy since we went to the hockey game. The season around here has not started for 2006 yet, but will probably start in March.

 

alright man...I think you'd be pretty good autocrossing. I'll probaly be hitting up them events again this year if I still have danna by then.

 

I would recomend taking the car out bone stock, tires and all. Try it, if you like it, mod it.
