I'm lack quiet a bit of knowledge about autocross.   Is the saftey steward meeting something that 1st timers Can/should go to ? 
  If you would recomend that i go, i'de like to.
   If its not applicable or something Novices should attend.  i won't. 
(read some more info here about auto X but it i'm sure each specific autocross is a bit different :
