$40 for registration cash only for American Autocross Series (AAS)
Set tire pressure on all four @ 35-36.5 for stock tires and bring a tire pressure gauge, if not you can always ask to borrow one. A stock 86 would be in a Street 2 class for American Autocross or a C-Street for SCCA events.
You would need tape for numbers but someone would always have it on site.


First event this weekend this Saturday and Sunday @ Marina Airport
This weekend Street 2 runs in the morning Sat and Sun. If you can only come one day, I would recommend to come on Saturday because traffic is usually heavy in Sunday afternoon.

Bring a helmet if you have one. Ask a lot of questions. Most anyone should be pretty happy to help. Just explain you're new!

What tires are y'all using? I'm deciding between the RS3's and 71R's. I heard the Bridgestones are better but have a shorter lifespan, not to mention the cost

Saturday is 70% chance of rain, Sunday 10% So at least 1 good day.

I don't think I can run my Bridgestones in the rain I'm at about 1/32" of tread.

From what everyone who is a who's who been saying the RE71R is a level better than the Hankooks. Most people that judge this however do some sort of motorsport on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, the RS3 is still a good tire. But for the price you should consider the Kumho V720. For the size I'm going to use again (225-45-17) it's the cheapest in the 200 treadwear category and it's performance is comparable the RE71R according to Tire Rack. Either way, none of these tires are going to last.
