AutoX is the best place to push the car. If nothing falls apart there you should be fine on the roads.
Also I dont think Auto_X Fil can ride along.
"Passengers: Our region allows passengers during all runs, with one exception: DURING COMPETITION RUNS COMPETITORS CANNOT BE PASSENGERS. Spectators and/or friends who are not participating in the event can ride with those who are participating. If you are a competitor and it has been observed that you have been a passenger during the competition runs you will forfeit your times for the day."
They have a novice class at CPA as well as a novice Drive Through with an instructor to show you the course. They have a novice walkthru that you will see quite a few people on.
I would shoot for getting there about 8:00 am if you want to run. I would sign up for the second heat so you can have time to see other people in the first heat and where they have problems. After that I would go out and walk thr course a few times (if you know somebody there to show you the course great otherwise just follow some people that look like they know where they are going). Try to find out your class in advance so you can just tell them. They will help you look it up if you do not know it but saves them and you time to know in advance.
They will have loaner helmets there for your use if you dont have a Snell M/SA type of helmet.
My mapquest directions sucked for getting to the airport we ended up getting close enough that we could follow the signs and showed up about an hour after we had planned to.
