Go drive in circles in the parking lot until the spell passes. It's to early to have cabin fever.

Buy a helmet. Skip the shoes and the gloves and the suit and the HANS device for now. There will be plenty of time for that later.
If you want a good, inexpensive camera for motorsports, go here. Don't waste your money on some $600 system.
Ok, I wasn't racing last year at the drag races but I was there with friend and his group that were and I am actually going to be doing that all the time once my Camaro is up and running for drag racing that is a few years in the making. Untill then I will be doing it in the Miata. That one I know I will like and I am pretty positive I will love doing the autocross.
Not buying a suit, or HANS device don't see the need to do that untill I am further along in racing.
I liked that camera you showed me will look into it further before I totally choose.
Creek I am also reviewing your idea as well. Just want to be sure I get something I am going to be totally happy with that has sound and can be used other then just for the track.

LOL ok I knew someone was going to say something like that to me. LOL
Don't worry, you will be bad enough at your first several events to know plenty of things to improve without needing a camera to tell you. I know I did.
I am a great racer on the Xbox does that count LOL j/k
Did you know all the cool local Miata Autocrossers wear wingtips rather than racing shoes it just looks better with shorts!
If ya need a pair contact CosmosMpower.
LOL ok that would actually be funny to see.
Don't forget your sock garters with those wingtips!
Ok I am not adding either of those to my need to buy list. Not going to happen.
Here are some pic I took at the last event I attended:

Yes it should but only if you reside in Arlington and want to Autocross!
Hey I will give you guys credit you have given me tons of tips and tried to help out. Made me actually laugh and feel like I will enjoy hanging out with you guys at the events. As well you have made it pretty easy to ask questions that I might think are dumb since I am all new to this.
Arlington is the place to be don't you know that. See you are just jealous cause you don't live here. LOL
Thanks again for all the tips and ideas, and I will keep on looking for your help through out next years events. Well of course I might have some well maybe alot more stuff before the season starts.
I guarantee you that feeling will pass!
True. Most of these guys are real's in person.
Hey I have two wrenches by my name now, I am moving up in the world. LOL
Sorry... As long as your name is blue, you'll get no respect. But don't worry... Respect can be bought!
Ya Ya Ya I know and I am actually planning on donating in January, money is just too tight right now to be able to. Man I was feeling good about the wrenches and now I feel poor again. LOL
