Member Introductions / New to the forum

Just signed up to the forum after some amount of lurking over the past year or so. I plan to join the club as well once memberships come online for next year. I would like to get out to watch some of the local events, hopefully here in Calgary next year. I was not able to get to the ones held here this year as my shift schedule had me working most of those weekends.
I'm still building my 79 Mustang, so won't have a car to enter for a bit longer. I doubt it'll be ready for next year, but maybe late in the season if things go well. Most likely though it'll be 2018 before i"m done it. It's going out for body and paint work very soon. I'm a total novice to autocross or any kind of racing for that matter, but want to get out and drive the car in a manner that is a lot more fun than is allowed on the roads. The car is going to be classed way way above my skill set, but I'm not really worried as it has been fun building it. Mostly I've been building the car as I want it to be and will figure out where that lands it in the classification, but it looks like it will fall into the Prepared class. Hopefully I'll learn enough to drive it somewhere close to its potential.
