With a Firebird, expect to be at the bottom of the heap. Not really AutoX cars but don't let that stop you, you'll still have a blast and its a great learning experience.

I'd go if I could trust my camaro to not fall apart

I have never done it before,I raced motocross for 5 years,and drag raced for 3 years,I am just doing this because I just got this car and thought it would be fun,alot more fun than just going 80 mph at the drag track,anything under 100 at the drag track is boring for me,so what the heck im definetly not going for a trophy,just to check it out.

Well have with it buddy, let us know how things go.

Make sure your brakes work damn good. If not then grab some performance pads and break them in on the way there.

Dude, drifters have locked diffs because that makes it easier to kick the back end out.

And for the love of god don't pull some nick hogan crap.

You still got your stock swaybars?
