| Frequently Asked Questions |
Q. What class does my car run in, what modifications are permitted?
A. Your car will be classed at the event. If you are new at this sport, you will not likely be competitive at first nor will your car be prepared according to any particular rules. Just allow your car to be classed, tell them you are a novice and be ready to learn a ton about driving!
Q. Do I need a sports/race car in order to compete?
A. No, You can race any car that you want providing that it meets the minimum safety requirements and is in good working condition. Make sure that you have good working seatbelts, that your battery is properly secured, and that you have all lug nuts on your wheels.
Q. My first event, what do I do now?
A. When you get to the event the first thing that you should do is go to registration. Be sure to tell someone you are a novice and would like some guidance. At registration, you will also need to sign up for a work group. After registering, prepare your car for TECH INSPECTION; remove all loose items from your car, center caps or hubcaps should be taken off of your wheels, then go to TECH, they will inspect your car for the safety items that were mentioned above.
Q. What is a work assignment?
A. While you run there will be others that watch the course, pick up cones, keep track of cars in pregrid, and watch the entry gate. In return you must do these items for them.
Q. Is auto-crossing safe for me and my car?
A. Yes, Although any racing does have an element of danger, Autocrossing is a safe sport. You are responsible for providing a safe car and driving in a controlled manner. When working the course the first rule is to be safe and always keep you eyes on the cars on course. Autocrossing is generally not hard on your car and one of the purposes of Tech Inspection is to see if there are any obvious concerns.
