What is typically needed to a/x? equipment? tech inspection?

generally, all that is needed is a car that is in very good mechanical shape (no leaks, good brakes, battery straped down), a helmet (can be borrowed, motorcycle helmets okay), and around $30.

DO IT!

Secrets of Solo Racing is a great book explaining car prep, driver prep, what to bring to the event, etc.

It's hoot.

I've just started doing AX with the local SCCA. I did a novice school last month, which included lots of instruction and practice time. Well worth the $50 fee. Also, SCCA has a novice class for n00bies like us. You'll get an instructor to ride with you for your first AX or two, plus someone to help you walk the course and give pointers.

I'm hooked, it's a really good time with some great people. I picked up a helmet on Ebay.

Sign up and go for it.

Ok, I went & read.
What the hell is this?

Number Class Driver Car Penalty Raw
90 BSP Darryl McElrath Corvette 0 0:54.503
126 XP Hassan Malik 914 0 0:56.628
97 STU Drew Boyles BMDubya M3 0 0:56.879
29 GS Ryland Hemphill Mini Scooper 0 0:58.025
26 XP Joe Ricard 914 0 0:59.056

I demand an immediate explanation.

Say it isnt true. A GS Mini Scooper beat an XP 914? ...Oh the humility

That BPS vette driver is good. BTW, the front drive Civic dude proves borrowed cars are faster.
