I've heard that 86Cup Socal Stock is a very competitive segment. Is it the right segment for a beginner to start in? 0 track experience, unless you count Mario Kart.
In-cabin temps will vary depending on where you measure, particularly at speed. The trans tunnel will get pretty warm in the summer months.

Depending on the time of the year, as you know, 115F+ ambient isn't unheard of, but even then, the stock cooling system is more than sufficient (with an oil cooler of course).

It's competitive, because the cars are virtually identical! It is, IMO, the optimal place for a beginner to start, because you 100% know that your car can do what the front runner's cars can do!
