What clutch did you go with?

Yeah. Those crazy expensive clutches are worthless. Really they're made grippy enough that they wear faster. And you really don't need all of that unless you're pushing crazy horsepower.

It also is going change how torque transfers from motor to trans. The more it grips, the harder it is on your trans.

You should do NORA. They're more organized.

You have to walk through the track first. Learn the track. They have cones that direct you in the right direction too.

Autox is the main reason I wish I had a manual... Not even worth trying in an auto IMO.

You'd be surprised. I seen some one AutoX in a Nissan Versa; Completely stock. It's possible.

Superfly does have AutoX, but they are a group of low-educated morons. They have no classing system.

So for instance, you have 530AWHP EVOs racing against 2.2l Cobalts.

NORA uses classes and handicaps to make things fair. That way you're racing against people who are of equal skill and equipment level.

Also, Superfly doesn't understand that you will lift tires and sometimes the back end will break loose. I've actually seen them yell at people for lifting the back tires during a high-speed, sharp corner. They have no idea what they are doing. But they're inexpensive, and they are a little more local than NORA. But you won't get half the experience or entertainment at a place that offers next to no competitiveness.

Look at Superfly's website. (good luck finding it)

Now look at NORA's
Autocross in Cleveland and Akron Ohio | Akron Sports Car Club Racing Series
And in addition...
The Rules | Autocross in Cleveland and Akron Ohio

If you want to AutoX, do it right. And do it professionally with people who know what they're doing, and are actually prepared.

If you have an option to put it in 1st gear only it's not nearly as useless. Of course I'm not sure if you'll be able to go the whole course without having to shift to 2nd like my Rx could lol.
