Then one day you will head to the track for a DE. Next, you will be searching this board for harness bar recommendations, thinking you don't want a roll bar, but would like to install some harnesses. You will put the harness bar in, then run a few more DE's.
At that point, you will decide that if you are going to track the car that much, you should make some more modifications. You will lower it, put turbo tie rods in, get some race seats, and decide you had better put a roll bar in.
This will take 2-3 years. Ask me how I know. ;)

I did my 1st autocross Feb 13th 1976. (I did have to look it up.)
I have autocrossed every year since. I have done quite a few DEs. I figure that instead of dumping tousands of dollars in upgrades it makes mores sense to just buy a newer 911. My 911 is 100% stock as far as performance upgrades. I drive on 15 inch tires with a 260 tread wear rating. I have a ton of trophies in the attic, I don't need any more. I autocross for the fun, and to keep me from driving stupid on the road. I have gone 25 years without a ticket. I get it out of my system at the autocross. I watch lots of folks spend a fortune on new tires and wheels so they can go a few seconds faster. Our club does not even award trophies!
