You outta run! I went to my first autox (just to watch). After watching the FIRST car run I wanted to run too. Unfortunately registration and tech were closed so I was SOL. So I had to wait FOREVER (it felt like it) for another event. If you want to check it out first I totaly understand but Im warning you... Just come on a Saturday to watch so you can cancel everything you had planned for Sunday to come run.

Dont worry about being inexperienced. You would run novice your first few events and lots of people are willing to give you advice.
Its loads of fun and you get to see crazy people like me slide across the finish line at 65 mph!
Ill let you all know what kind of help we need as soon as Frank tells me.
