Plus the normal get there early, pass tech early, have the numbers for registration, have lots of water, easy to chew down food and sun protection.
Run like crazy when working cones and pay atttention to the cars, if your region have novice walk throughs, pay attention to what the instructor is talking.

Ah, check your battery tie-down and wear the thinnest sole shoes you can when driving, but a confortable enough to run after the cones and stand for a long time while working.

AutoX is where it's at, way more fun than drag racing imo.

My advice would just be to not push yourself to hard, make your first couple events more about learning how your car performs when putting the suspension through it's paces and building on fundamental skills, rather than getting the best possible time.

I agree i think i will get alot more out of autox than drag as well. I know my cars limits pretty well so im not gona push it hard as much as just having fun and a good time i hope. As long as the z06 croud isnt like look at the civic sedan who thinks he can drive.
