The turbo will put you into Street Modified (SM) or D Modified (DM) I think you would have more fun and more competition in SM. Personally, the stock hatch would be the car I would bring out first. Learn in something slow and on stock suspension to get a feel for how the sport is done. I am guessing that car would run in H Stock (HS)
The 2008 Nebraska Region SCCA schedule is still being set... but we normally do about a dozen events between the Omaha/CouncilBluffs/Lincoln/Hastings area. We also do about a half dozen RallyX events (think AutoX on dirt) as well as put on 4 road racing events between MAM and MPH.
You should be able to find it and more info on AutoX (aka Solo) here:

You can also find ALL the rules at:

indeed take out the hatch first..... i kinda screwed myself starting out.... threw on some mods and got tossed in a high class.... then i had to fight to get to the top of the board.... then worst of all is hitting cones and ya get all embarrassed

It will become a definate addiction once you try it. (...and try to avoid hitting the cones... )

x2, it's very addicting and then you'll want to move on to bigger and better things! But solo2 is awesome and you get to push your car to the limits in a safe controlled environment.
