Beware of cone scuffs. lol. They can be buffed out easy enough, but just be prepared to get them. If you clip one of the rubber cones it will leave a mark. I recommend getting some blue painters tape. Put it on all four corners of your car and on the rear quarter, infront of the wheels. The tape will reduce the chances of getting the scuffs. The front bump and just in front of the tires is the area that you usually get them. I said put them on the rear corners, because if you take a corner too quick and the rear slides out on you, the rear corner could catch a cone too.


Oh, and autocross is a blast. I haven't done it in my Camaro, but I did it in my old subaru and in a Sentra Spec-V that I had.

Also, find out about the rules for a convertible. Some organizations may require you to have a rollbar.
