Not Ranked
I do both. Tried autocross, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for something that gave me high speeds, and a chance to learn what the car would do, what I could do and what changes did to the car. My car is a solid axle 4 link with a big block. The only changes I make are I put slicks on, change to race brake pads, and adjust tire pressures. I don't adjust shocks, or make camber/caster adjustments. I set the car up to drive on the street, but make the few changes to allow me to push myself and the car to our limits on the track. There are many changes you can make for the track, but unless you plan to seriously take on track days, I wouldn't bother. Set you car up for best driveability on the street, and it will perform fine on the track. You didn't mention whether your local track is a road course or a drag strip. I'm assuming a road course, which is where you will have the most fun, but it does cost. Which is why many stick with Autocross, it is a very affordable type of racing. Just not my cup of tea. Hope this helps, any other questions, let me know.
