Was wondering what it takes to get involved in autocrossing. I'm definitely more of a fan of the twisty turny driving as opposed to straight line races. I'm not terribly concerned with actually competing against other people (at least initially I guess). Whats it take to get started?
From what I've read so far, a lot of people suggest starting with a stock vehicle. I've currently got H&R SS springs, bilsteins, CC plates, and Short-throw shifter. I'd like to get some FLSFCs relatively soon. Would these mods keep me in the lower classes of racing?
I've got leather seats and normal 3-point seat belts - not sure if I'll be too busy being thrown around the inside of the car to do any good actually driving. Anyone race with the typical seats/belts?
I just got new FR500s and tires for the car and would obviously not want to ruin those through beating the crap out of them so I'm wondering if stock wheels are a safe option for the amount of turning involved. The tires on my stock wheels have a little tread left but would probably get run through pretty quickly in a day of autocrossing (I'd assume) so are there decent tires for stock wheels?
I also live in the Dallas area, if anyone knows of where to start looking to get involved in the scene.
Thanks in advance for any info!
