STX is correct. It's the class I run in. Only viscous limited slip are allowed in STS, and very few cars have those. Mechanical like ours bump you to STX.

Congrats on your first autocross. Be warned, it is freaking addictive. I started about a year ago, and now I try to make at least 2-3 events a month.

So some advice to a newbie . . . these took me months to learn:

1)Never try to turn and brake at the same time. You will plow forward like a mother. Brake, let off the pedal, turn, then back on the gas.

2) Aggressive feels faster (and is more fun) but it really isn't. I used to be all understeer squeal, spin out, and tire smoke. Now I'm totally Zen . . . just a little tire hum and my times have improved drastically. Better to find the correct line and then find the limits of the car.
