I just have to work on maintenance issues and replacing parts that need to be replaced before I really push my 6. I have been wanting a new hobby for a LONG time 
Gavin and I4MX6, thanks for the good info  . As for what class I plan to compete in, more than likely not stock. I plan on doing some modifications and upgrades, so I won't be competing in stock class. This is all of course just looking into the future. |
That is so awesome! Its very addictive, so beware. But unlike other forms of racing, autox is the most fun and affordable (imo). I used to drag race with a 75 shot of juice and had my car more built for drag than anything else, so when I decided I wanted to do autox, I realized that put me in a much higher class than my car was really ready for. Well, the main thing was the body kit... that put me in CSP which on a PAX index, really screws with my time. So I'm working on getting my car well into CSP so that it really does belong in that class. If I could go back, I would start with a car that isn't heavily modded like mine was and then actually plan to be in certain classes in stages so that there wasn't a point where I was only in a class due to one useless mod. So its best to consult the rulebook for whatever venue you want to particpate in to find out what mod would put you in what class.
I've gotten alot of excellent advice here and appreciate all of it! You can find autox events at myautoevents.com or planet-torque.
