Entered in my first autocross event, hosted by the Joliet Sports Car Club, an independant club which hosts six to eight auto-x events each year. Unlike the SCCA, they have no rules regarding vehicles or modifications; classes are determined per-event, based on run times, and are labelled A (fastest) through E (slowest, usually newcomers). I managed to pull off a time worthy of D class, and placed 1st with a best time of 58.09 seconds (I started out at 61+ seconds, so I'm happy with the degree of improvement through the day; my final class run was over a second faster than my previous best for the day). I heartily recommend the experience to anyone; you'll learn more about your car and it's handling characteristics in one day than you'll ever learn from day-to-day and 1/4-mile track driving.
