You will also get instruction from some really good drivers, some national champions. If your main goal is to improve (and I am pretty sure that it is) then it is really worth it to run novice as long as you can.

In auto-x in our cars it is super easy to get throttle induced oversteer on the course. You'll have a blast!
I entered Novice for the reasons both of you stated.

Egon if I understood Robby right he said that If I win Novice class week 1 I'll be booted out to run a class the following event. Sounds like a goal to me! Might be the only time I'm not handicapped for having a fast car. LOL!

Looks like I won't be the only 2017 SS 1LE there. There is a guy in the Pro Street Tire class.
