So, aside from getting a helmet and changing my oil before I go, are there any other things I should take into consideration regarding abuse to the car? What don't foxes like about AutoX?

Currently have a fresh rear with 300 miles(itll be about 600 when I go out there), tremec trans with about 2000 miles, a good bit of suspension work, 17x9s, 4wd/5lug, and a stock 5.0 with 150k on it.

Don't get crazy. Even if you drive hard around corners on the street, it's not in rapid succession continuously. I've seen more than a few people total out cars AutoX'ing. Just start off easy and get a feel for the car, and wait till you're comfortable before you start pushing it to it's limits.

is it a track or cones?

Brand new z rated tires and cobra 4wd brakes (11.65 rear single piston, 13 inch front twin piston pbrs)

I'm planning on getting a feel for the car and track, trust me, haha, there's no way I'm elevating the risk of ruining my money pit for any reason.

I think it's part track/part cones so they can switch it up a bit, but I know for a fact that there a portion of it is an actual track.

First time out I'm assuming?

Best thing I can suggest is ride with an instructor if you can. Also don't worry about going crazy with mods or anything, drive the car as-is as much as possible until you get a good feel for the handling. Guaranteed the car can out-handle your capabilities right now, even with street tires and the massive understeering tendencies associated with our cars. I've been autoxing for over a year now and my car is still pretty much stock.

There's no replacement for seat time.
