03 I'm interested in eventually changing from autox to obtain the SCCA Competition license on and do some amateur weekend racing?.

A:I'd suggest starting out in a Stock vehicle. An option,
if you really intend to eventually go road racing, is to
look for an inexpensive road racing vehicle like a Vee or
an IT car, and run it as an autocrosser while learning;
then when you're ready for SCCA racing school, you should
already have a reliable, well understood vehicle in your
possession. Note that it's *very* hard to learn to drive
in a formula car. People just starting in driving
competitions should be in two-seat sedan-type cars --
things happen more slowly, and they can take passengers
and ride as passengers with better drivers. Note that
formula racing is also a lot more expensive.
