Do they have practice/instruction days? I've never done anything like this and would hate to go out there with absolutely no instructions and look like a noob.

Bleh. I have to pick up a clutch Sunday anways.

usually in the spring they have two school days up in north park. it usually entails a couple chours of classroom/theory instruction, then they set up a skid pad and slalom which you can go around as many times as you like with an instructor. then in the afternoon they set up a very simple course and let you run it against the clock.

i wouldn't be too worried about just showing up to race though. sure you may be slow and make some mistakes but everyone has to start somewhere. the people up there are all very friendly as well and are more than happy to answer any questions you have and to offer advice.

i coned on my first 3 runs but ended up with a 43.668 on my last run. not terribly impressive but more than enough to crush bud foster in his silly plastic vette. i would have won class if they hadn't dumped paul and his race tires in to my class.

nakama is amazing, so is sawa (by monroeville mall) i recommend it to anyone

MONDO, just for curiosities sake would my car be an absolute dog at autocross??? Id like to hang out and race with you guys, but a laggy *** turbo and an exedy triple arent really conducive to autox. would i embarass myself?

i also have a bone stock 00' s2000, but after 60k miles the tranny and clutch are pretty compromised so i dunno if id risk it in the honda. what do ya think?
