I also plan to get the pretty early to prep the front bumper with painters tape for extra protection. I'm not driving across the metroplex with that crap on my car lol.

Yeah, I notice a lot of people do that but I don't know if I really feel like taking all the time to do that. I feel like there's a better chance of screwing up the front end driving behind 18-wheelers than going around the course. Guess we'll see. I don't know what class I'm in. As far from stock as my car is, I'm pretty sure it'll be in the higher classes which should be funny.

You will be novice street modified as well. Don't worry about the other cars in your class you will be competing with the other novice drivers. Mostly just try and beat your last time every time out

There is no need for that in autocross because there is only one car on the track at a time. You will never be close enough to another car to have rocks thrown at your front bumper.
