biggest thing you want for a newbie. well 2 things. first is a tire gauge. tire pressures play a HUGE roll in an event. i picked up a full second last weekend by adding some PSI. the 2nd thing you want to get is seat time. lots and lots of seat time.

seat time is good.. classing depends on what mods you have... Just come out and drive. That will improve your times the most..

whatever the "street prepared" class is, or STS or STX or SM. There are several glasses you can fit it.. I don't know shit about hondas, so i don't know where they go..

they need to stay in the parking lot.... j/k my suggestion is to go into SM to give chad more problems in his class. just stay out of STS.. i have enough problems when bandit runs
