I'm in, anybody else?

Would this be a good event to start for a complete novice? I'm guessing a helmet is needed

I'm a complete AutoX noob. They'll have instructors available and limited helmets for use (email them).

I can't imagine just about any autocross being a bad place for a beginner, so give it a try.

Had to take my car today in for service to deal with some steering vibration and a recall on my seatbelt. I don't want to risk not making it on Sunday. I'd love to hear your experience and try for next week's event.

It's on Sunday!
And you can also register that day per the website. AutoX prob the best place to learn and make mistakes as you're going at lower speeds with plenty of runoff.

Hope to see some of you guys there.

Edited the day. Ok cool. By Friday/Saturday I should know the status of my car. If you don't mind me asking, is there any preparation I need beforehand or after an event like this regarding brake pads, tires, oil, etc...

Your first time out, nada.
Just make sure you got fuel, tires got air. There's a self-tech form that you should go over but its all very basic. Like if your car can't pass that self tech, it really doesn't belong on the street.
