Come'on guys! Those Subie queers are talking so much trash about the Z we have to show them a true sports car! $45 for non-SCCA members, $40 for non-SCCA Military members & $35 for SCCA members isn't bad for a day worth of racing! I know you all spent $30 for 5-6 runs at Bandi and that 14-16 seconds of aiming a car straight. Even shorter for you Kevin! If you don't know what class your in, PM me a mod list and I'll contact my buddy that will help figure out what class. You can register now and pay the day of the event! Andrew, I better see you there!

Helmets are $100-$200. Solo doesn't require a "SA-Rated" helmet.

Edit: Refer to post 27!

Go to a motorcycle shop and you'll be good to go.

If I'm off I will attend. I don't care what class I'm in cause I'm not looking for a win. I just want track time, hone in some basic skills and enjoy my car. And If I come in dead last behind a guy on a unicycle, then more reasons to do more track events!

Awesome! When you register you have to select a class. Its either BS or BSP.

Anyhow!!! You might still be able to run BS. I think you fall into BSP when you upgrade the brakes, & suspention. An intake shouldn't hurt you and a spacer is to hard to notice unless you are looking for it.

For any on the fence about this event, here's an in-car video shot from a 350Z (not mine) at an auto-cross, to show you what to expect:

I won't be attending this event (for reasons I won't bore anyone here with), but I will say that auto-x is a good way to increase your car-control skills with minimal (or no) risk to your car. For those that don't want to take their car onto a track for fear of damage, this is the next best thing, as there's not much to hit in a parking lot filled with cones.
