Auto-x for a novice should be about improving your times from run to run. The fun part of it is not always who got the fastest time but figuring out how to cut time in each element. I learned alot last year on stock everything, Matt and everyone else in the club is awesome at encouraging drivers to get faster. All I can say is ask alot of questions! Have fun, and oh yes you will be addicted. mlomker, id take matt up on the offer, you learn alot about high hp and small spaces at the midway.
Id offer up my car but I wont be intown that day.
