Im entering a couple local races. Who else is entering some? What class do you expect to be in and how do you think you'll do?

I will run at least one autox this season. I don't plan on competing in a series. I usually do pretty well, but I'm rusty, I think I only ran 2 events last season.

You will probably be slow, but that's normal and perfectly fine. If you are overdriving the car you'll hit cones. That depends on your style, you'll either be slow and cautious or slow and out of control.
There were about a dozen people who also had never done autox before the first time I went out. I was the fastest of all of them. I was over 15 seconds behind the next slowest person who had actually done autox before, and that was something like a Chevy Celebrity wagon.
