Check out your local Corvette clubs and see if one of them do autocross. That way you will get help & info from Vette drivers.

Besides the Local SCCA region you can also look into NCCC in your area.

Enroll in a local school if you can. Just go and do it, you will be nervous but just relax and drive.

Go to www.myautoevents.com and click on autocross.

Look for an NCCC event and ask to ride with an entrant. Borrow a helmet. NCCC allows passengers and is not a hardcore as SCCA.
In order to get new autoxers interested I always take out passengers if they meet the entrant criteria.
