[Malice 1]

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.

I'd say the biggest pitfall is not knowing what class you ultimately want to race in. Without knowing the class (F-stock, ESP, Street Modified, C-prepared, etc.) you could unknowingly make an upgrade that could quickly put you in a class that you may not have anticipated and would be up against stiffer competition (from a car preparation standpoint). Example, you gut the interior (truly gut it) and you'll probably end up in C-prepared, which isn't a bad thing as long as you know that going in. If you don't realize that, you could be overwhelmed by the competition and disappointed in the potentially low car turnouts in the local region you run in. I'd start by checking the rulebook and figure out where you ultimately want to settle in.

Until then, proceed with caution on the upgrades and have fun.
