Hey guys, as a recent addition to the autox world I had some questions. I AM a v6 Camaro w/ an auto... yes some higher nature has frowned at me in the racing world. However I've decent mods (SLP cai, flowmaster ex., tb spacer, msd wires, zexel lsd, and sfcs) and wanted to know what class I would belong in. Around here I practice autox and some mild drifting on a pass I've found around the local lake. I've looked into that class that's making a tour (can't remember the name) but will be here in March. As a noober, I was wanting just some basic advice for someone who has just entered the relm of autox as well as an anti-flame suit in extreme cases (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . - B

Just like all the other guys have said, the V6 F-body surely isn't all that competitive stock. The V8 powered version is tricky enough to toss around the cones.

However, I raced over a season in G-stock my first year in the 92 Camaro and I had tons of fun. I was on 420 treadwear street tires, and they howled around the entire course. I was slow as dirt, didn't know what I was doing, frequently locked up the tires (no abs) and plowed into large piles of cones. I made sure to give the course workers something to do when I came through. I also had an automatic, and the best part was gassing it out of a turn in 2nd gear, only to have it downshift into first mid corner and go spinning the back end around. Most of my runs had me accidently honking the horn at corner workers, and usually had me with the blinkers on as well. Came in last just about every single time, except for the rare occasion where someone coned and DNFed all their runs. It sure was fun though, and that is the most important part.

Do whatever you want to your car, race in whatever class you end up in, and just have fun. Get some friends out there and howl around the course on street tires just like I did. It's great fun.
