Hello guys,

Scca was a lil confusing but when i clicked the where to start for new people it didnt have a valid page.

From what I am reading, I am interested in the auto x it would be solo class right?

[Norm Peterson]

Yes. SCCA's official name for what most of us call auto-X is "Solo". And it's really a whole separate and distinct branch of motorsport activity - along with Club Racing and Rallying.

Within Solo there are a number of categories (e.g. Stock, Street Prepared, Modified) and several classes within each category in an attempt to group cars with similar performance potential together.

http://nasanortheast.org/autocross.htm I don't know what happened to NASA in the northeast, but as long as the same guys are working the events, they are a great organization, for auto-x, HPDE's and actual racing.

Autocross is the sh!t, you're going to love it. Since you are probably a little nervous about going to your first event, dont be - its really easy to figure out what you're doing there (that doesnt mean you'll be fast, Im talking about knowing how an event works lol). Its a lot of fun! What color is your car? I'll look for you at some events (though I might not be running my max there... we'll see).

werd...i go with cart and fcscc but they are a bit far from your location. im usually the only maxima there...so come on.
