The event on July 20th is hosted by Northern NJ Porsche club, keep in mind that everyone is invited to run, there is as many Non Porsche cars as there are Porsche cars. Even if you have never autocrossed before and want to try but are somewhat not comfortable, come down. We have plenty of instructors. I will be helping register everyone and setting the course, if you want an instructor just ask me and i will jump in the car with you.
Bring food and drink as nothing is available at the meadowlands. I think the fee is 35.00.
Hope to see you there some of you there

Jim

I think I may be interested in this. Do you need to bring anything else besides $35, food, and drinks? ie. Helmet? Racing Harness?

P.S. I've never autoX before...

Helmet rated for at least snell 2000 or better. It really depends on the organizer's rules. You may be able to get away with a recent motocycle helmet. And they may have loaners for the event.

Good tire pressure gauge (longacre). that's about it for a first time. If you want to spend more money: harness, light weight wheels with dedicated rubber, brake pads, and better brake fluid. And there's plenty more to buy!

If you have a Helmut bring it,, if not they have loaners available. Bring food and drinks, you really do not need anything else. There will be plenty of people at the event if you need help just ask.

Hope to see you there
