Next week is my first race. Seriously, thanks for this.
Great info, looking to attend my first auto this month and never thought about bathrooms!
You covered a lot items! And you really made it sound like great fun! If I follow your advice I will look like a pro on my first autocross! Thanks for taking the time to share all this with us!🙂
Thanks for the video my man! You make it seem super accessible. I'm definitely going to give it a try this season.
Do it man! It's super good for getting your feet wet with motorsports!
Thanks for the video!! i'm taking my BRZ to my first autocross later this week, definitely some stuff in here I didn't think about!
How did that go? I took my FR-S to my first autocross event last week and it was TONNE of fun!
I usually bring my portable BBQ and do burgers and dogs. Friends I run with will chip in and we eat like kings. Good vid though and you pretty much nailed everything.
+Eric Dawson Awesome idea! I need to find some autocross friends to do this with... Thanks for watching!
Just did my first one!! Thanks for the tips. I watched your video before going. I forgot my tape and my wife said “the RUclips guy told you to bring blue tape” lol. She enjoyed watching it
They are a blast! Great groups!
Awesome vid! LMAO @6:15! 😂 IDK which was funnier, the pumpkin, or the toy bike. Haha.
+HawkeyeSTiGuy You never know when a stunting session will break out, gotta be prepared!
Great video Chuck. I'll be doing my second autocross event (1st in my STI) and this will definitely help better prepare me. I'm going to do things a little different though. The day before, I will have Indian food for lunch and Taco Bell for dinner. The day of, I will have a large iced coffee and steel cut oats for the fiber. Just in case the going gets tough and the feeling is unbearable, I will be wearing my favorite shoyoroll gi so I think twice before I tap out and crap myself. This will be the ultimate test to see how well I can perform while I'm prairie dogging. :)
Haha! Good luck my friend! Your interior will never be the same!
super helpful video bro! Im going to be trying to autocross my e36 soon!
Nice man! Glad the video helped out!
Awesome! I want to take FRS to one soon and this is just what I needed!
+JellyForSale DO EET man, the FRS is a crazy good platform out of the box for autocrossing. Stay tuned for my "What to expect on the day of the event" style video later this week! It'll have even more info and some action shots!
Very useful video man !
I do weekends at barber motor sports Bham Alabama. Love it.
Good video. Thinking about taking my ride to one and have at it.
- The best source for finding AX's is motorsportreg.com.
- Check the policy of the organizer before bringing friends. Some allow them, most don't allow anyone who isn't driving or volunteering. If someone really wants to tag along, every organization always needs people to help with registration, etc.
- DON'T bring your dog, it's not a "day in the park", it's a day on an open parking lot with no shade, no other dogs, no place to play ball.
Good tips!
Lots of nice information for a NFG...much appreciated (a guy who recently purchased a Porsche 997.1 TT MT and will be doing his first PCA AX in January....yes I live in Florida:) If I could ask a question, I haven't yet figured out heel and toe down shifting, how important is that at AX?
I subbed because of your puppy. and the video wasn't bad either.
for someone like my self who is intersted in autocross but never have done it. this vid was interesting and informative.
Thanks man! Glad you found it useful!

Nice video Chuck.... Its videos like this that are practical that is also cool to watch for anyone who is just getting into cars etc. Nice job! Keep them coming. Gonna share on my Facebook Page.
+DoctaM3 I really appreciate the support and input! The countless hours of "free entertainment" I've received from your channel has been very influential in my decision to try this whole youtube thing out. Your support of other fellow car enthusiasts doesn't go unnoticed! Thank you!
Great to see that you help out aspiring channels. You truly are a great guy for helping our friend Chuck grow; he has great potential. Maybe one day he will join you and the other RUclipsrs for some awesome events in the future.
Chuck, it was a ton of fun autocrossing with you this weekend. Your channel is pure gold man. Love it. I will try to upload a private video of your car running this weekend as soon as I can.
+Brian Battocchi Hey Brian, great meeting you too man! I've got the videos saved off on my computer I just need to get to the editing and such. I'll probably get them up tomorrow night and send you a link. They are not the greatest since you can really only see half the lot, but they may be useful in a future vid. I'll try and give your channel a shout out in the next vid to get people to check out your stuff, rally cross looks sweet! But might be too brutal for my cars!
+T-WRX Sounds good. Same goes with my vids of your car from autocross. I will def give you channel a shout out as well. Frankly, your channel is way more awesomeness entertainment. I don't blame you. Rallycross is really tough on the cars, and your cars are both nice. Can't wait to see your upcoming videos!
+Brian Battocchi Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, the link made it go into my "Likely Spam" folder and I didn't notice it. Just downloaded it, video looks great! Exhaust is louder than I thought! Let me know when you are done with mine as well and I'll pull it down.
Good stuff, what part of VA are you in? Im in the Winchester area, theres normally an event at the local high school there. Ive been meaning to check it out but I still need to replace some warn out suspension first.
Thanks for this video, answered all my questions about autocross. So do you prefer to do the WRX because of the AWD or the M3 cause that's your track car? (And if you have ever done a head-to-head which was faster?)
+Chuck Jim Good question, I actually always like to drive the M3 at motorsports events. Only because I drive the WRX everyday and its nice to use the "Toy" car as intended. I'm mainly taking it on Sunday to help show that your daily driver is perfectly acceptable to take to an autocross! In the past I would only drive the WRX at events if it was poor weather, AWD and I had a miata that I couldn't fit in with the roof down and a helmet on :(
I've never done a head to head but I bet the WRX is faster in a straight line and the M3 would probably dominate on the track, it has much better rubber and the suspension is beastly. Thanks for the support!
Cool video. Thanks for the info. This will help me prep for 1st autocross. By the way, What BMW year/ model grills are mounted on your wall?

This is very helpful. Do you need to get special insurance or would regular comprehensive car insurance cover any “incidents”? Thanks.
Just missed out my first event today due to work... hopefully I can attend the next one... the track here is really bad though... so i need tires lol
Haha yeah some parking lots are brutal on tires!
I like this guy. I would be friends with him.
+Jon Skulemowski I like you too, lets be friends!
+T-WRX See, this is what I mean! What a classy response. Friends we shall be.
Great video, Chuck! Do you need to remove the car’s spare tire to pass tech check? Thanks.
I think as long as it's secured by like a clamp or bracket then no. But it will cut your weight and give you the powaaaahhh!
ayyyy good to see someone else who is also unlucky enough to live in the DMV
+Sh1t Garage #speedingticketssuck
dude is that in Frederick? first time watching your videos
good stuff!!!!!
Where do you put all that stuff while you're on the track, if it can't be in your car??
Nice video. Puppy wins a like and sub from me, but probably best to bring a human friend first before puppy because some events could be difficult to juggle taking care of the driving, working, and puppy.
yo! that's key's stadium in frederick!
Do you have to know how to heel toe
PUPPY!
I wiggle my wheel all the time
Still autocrossing/racing?
