the rules r simple, u have to were a helmet, they will inspect ur car to make sure it is ok to run (lug nuts on tight, battery sucure...), u have to take everything out of the inside of ur car so that it dosen't get in the way of ur driving (floor mats, subs...). hope that helps.

here are the directions: Gwinnett County Fairgrounds. Directions: 85 north to Hwy. 316 north, exit Sugarloaf Pkwy., go right, proceed about 5 miles to the Fairgrounds on the left.

If autox starts at 10a.m., you still have time to go to the show/meet too!!! It starts at 2p.m.

ok here are the details: First cars should start at 10a.m. so tech will be open at 9a.m. there will be a $25 fee to run, u will get 6 runs. i also want people to know that this is being put on by the porsche club so all visitors will compete in one class unless there are alot of us. and for those who have not autoxed before u also have to work the course if u run. hopefully like Evo1 said we will still have time to go to the car show.
