ceboyd, back when I was seriously considering getting an M3 or 993tt instead of my SC430, I was also looking into autocross. At the autocross events, do you ever see any SC430's competing? I might like to start with my SC430, and if I get hooked, that will just be another incentive to add a 3rd (faster/sportier) car for autocross.

I've even thought about something like Spec Miata, but I don't know much about it or if they even do that around here (North Mississippi). My concern with getting into any amateur "racing" is that I know almost nothing about repairing or maintaining cars, only to take it to the dealer /mechanic if something goes wrong. Is knowlege about or experience with repairing cars necessary for autocross or other types of amateur racing?
I've NEVER seen an SC430 at Autocross or track events.. sorry... I do see lots of Miata's though.. And also quite a few Mustangs actually. The S2000 is popular as well! ...and there are plenty of built Civics and Acura Type R's but at the track I see Porsche, NSX, Viper, BMW, and Corvette's most often.

I guess you could be the first with an SC430 at an SCCA autocross?
