    The most important rule of modifying your car for autocross (if you want to compete) is to pick the class you want to run your car first, then modify within those limits. Something as simple as having wheels half an inch wider than stock, or lowering springs, can boot you out of street classing and into a class where you have no chance to compete without a whole set of additional mods (and experience).
    The sunburn threat is real, tho.

    Something that helped me big time was watching videos that explain cone layouts and go to one of the events and just hang out. Gives you an idea how much room there is for the course layouts and what everyone is doing while youre there.

    From my autocross experience, I don't think this is a great primer for autocross modding. Although you touched on, I don't think enough emphasis was put on how modification impact your classing. Most guidance I've received in regards to modifications is to start with vehicle maintenance and driver mod. Instead of dropping money on coilovers that will instantly put you into more competitive classes, start with the aforementioned RPF1s + 200TW tire.

    never thought about autocrossing in a field.
    I live in Ohio, empty fields are EVERYWHERE outside my city. Might have to buy a plot of land when im an old fart and have some dirt auto crossing.

    Be sure to check which class you want to race in's restrictions before you go buying everything. Keeping in street class doesn't give you much to work with for mods for example.

    Which 'fast' guys are telling you not to run Hoosiers? Literally go look at the 2023 nationals list of cars on race tires and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the top who ISN'T running Hoosiers.

    • @Chrisstmary
      @Chrisstmary หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Depends on the context. New autocrossers dont want hoosiers. Stick to street tires, street class, and focus on driving and seat time.

    • @SterkRacing
      @SterkRacing หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @@Chrisstmary sure, but saying "the people who are actually fast will tell you not to buy them" is just false because the people who are actually fast actually use hoosiers. Street classes are moot because you cant run slicks.

    • @KitchinMotorsports
      @KitchinMotorsports หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I run Hoosiers in autox. But I’m is a Street Prepared class so it’s better off to run Hoosier to be competitive.

      Those 6 minutes are like dogs' years, though. You can easily have 25-30 turns in each of those 6 minutes of seat time.
