    The wife and I are registered. We'll be on street tires though since this is her first time.

    Afraid she'll like the R tires???

    She'll have more fun with the sticky tires!

    lol, my A6's will be gone after (yet) another blasting at Pennington with the SCCA the weekend before, so I'll be on RA-1's. I'm thinking cold RA-1's at the slickness of the bus lot is not a good introduction to autocross

    We will be testing out the new NT-05's though, so I'll be able to compare them to the Dunlop Star Specs.

    I've never been to one of these and it looks interesting. Does it cost anything to spectate?

    Free to watch, but it's as exciting as watching paint dry. Throw down $30 and run what you brung! There will be a novice walk-thru and as much help/instruction as you want.

    Sign up, come out, and there will be people to help you.

    Here is a good article about what you need to do. There are also plenty more at the bottom of this page.

    Unfortunately I'll be driving a '98 Explorer and don't have access to anything but a truck, van and that suv right now. I also have a college class in the morning that day
    I just wanna see people's cars and ask questions. I'll be looking for a 99 Miata soon and have many questions floating around in my head :)

    See if you can get a ride with one of the instructors. It will be a lot more fun than just watching.

    Correction, get a ride from the person who's car's tires are making the most noise.

    That ride will be a LOT more exciting

    The other problem is that I don't have a helmet. The only helmets I have are dirtbike helmets.

    Sound like a good idea goofygrin :)
    (I'm not afraid of screeching cause I drive that explorer like it is a car lol)

    If your helmet is Snell rated M95 or M2000 or M2005, you can use it.
