Getting out agression isn't really something for a track novice.

Misdirected aggression at the track can turn your Boxster into a sardine can in two blinks of an eye.
No special preparation to your car necessary for autocross. No special tires recommended when starting out (get novice mistakes done on cheap tires). Total cost for the day? $40-$50. String together 10-12 days of that and you're a 10x's better driver than 98% of the sports car driving public.
Wow. That's not bad at all!!
Yea, I didn't know the difference between Auto-X and track. I will definitely look into it!


You guys need to answer the polls! Lots of comments veering conservative, but so far the votes veer (haha) aggressive.
