get the official rule book for scca solo2 and bring a good tire pressure gauge and compressor and strip your interior like passanger seat and carpets

u dont need to do anything special. before and after every race i: tq the lug nuts, check all fluids, check throttle response, make sure battery is held tight, check tire pressure, clean any loose items out of my car, and check oil. autox isnt very hard on the car and rarely will something break. just good regular maintenence will do fine.

I was too excited and basically overboosted on the way to auto-x. Blew an elbow coupler and the bov literally undid itself (one of em funky hose clamps)and ended up stuck in the radiator fan.
