What's an Auto Cross?
I'm from Puerto Rico and we don't have anything called that way down here.
Any help will be gladly appreciated.

There is a big FAQ at the top of this forum. That will tell you what autox is.

Are you racing Daytripper? If you are, you are going to be nervous.
1) Walk the course as many times as you can.
2) The first time drive slower and learn the course.
3) Push the car more as you feel more comfortable.
4) Have a ride-along with you the first 1-2 times to make sure you know the course. Get someone experienced. Usually they will provide Novice instructors to ride with you.
5) Talk to the guys with the grey hair and fast times!
6) HAVE FUN and DRIVE HARD!!!
