I really want to start autoxing again, and our season starts in feb here. I have a 94 z28 that is serving as Daily driver duty right now, and I also want to race it. It will be my dedicated race car next year, when I buy a new Daily Driver.

Since I want to race my daily driver this season, what are some common parts to fail on the autox course? Should I keep some stock replacement parts handy? What is a "weak spot" on the fbod?

I'm gonna try and get a 2010 SS camaro as a DD next winter. Then I'll get some DOT-R tires for my 94 camaro and gut it.

The biggest thing I used to beat up on my thirdgen when it was a daily driver/autoX car was diffs. If you have a spare rear around or keep up with it.
