Hi guys I just joined the other day and was wanting to introduce myself. My name is Kyrk, I am 19, from northern ky and I am a student at University of the Cumberlands. I own a dark purple metallic 95 z28 M6. Currently it has a K&N CAI, Trick Flow intake elbow, 3" Borla catback, B&M ripper, 3 point UMI SFC, modified stock LCA, LCA relocation brackets, UMI adj pan hard bar, BMR STB, and ZR1 wheels. Last summer I took it to a few autocross events and fell in love and plan on doing more this spring and summer. My car is mostly a street car and I am looking to buy a 93-97 roller camaro to build for the track. My knowledge about auto cross and road racing is limited but I know if I hangout here and around the track I will meet some great people and pick up tons of info.

Welcome aboard!!! There's tons of info here and we're glad to help if there is anything you can't find in a past thread.
Looks like your car is off to a good start. I'd probably remove the relocation brackets for autocross use, they can cause brake hop and they cause "roll steer" problems with the rear axle. That should make the car brake better and a bit more stable in turns. Other than that, it sounds like you're on your way. Welcome to the addiction. |

Indeed, welcome! Like John said - seat time, seat time. Do not rush the track thing. It is pricey and you can get a lot of cheap thrills and good learning autoxing. Then, when your budget allows, you can work in track stuff.
