Talking Auto-X in VA

Im going to my first Auto-X in my Ti this weekend.
I did one in my Z3, which had cold air intake, bilstien shocks, H&R sport
springs, supersprint exhaust, some fun stuff like that.
My 98ti has NO suspension work yet, (just got it 2 weeks ago)
and im wondering how bad its gonna suck with stock suspension.
Also, is there anyone in the area of Hampton/VA Beach that might
wanna go with?

Autocross.
FYI. You do not need to be a member to drive VIR except for the member only track days. I've been driving VIR since 2000 a few times a year.

Not to hijack, but. . .
You need to do a driving school with a car club or driving school.
Costs are typically $300-$350.
But that is not the place to see what your car can do.
Come out to an NCC autocross. You will be much safer.
