Put unknown for now.. they will take care of it when you are there. You will need what seems like an extreme amount of air pressure in your tires (front especially). Listen to someone who suggests this to you....
To find out more about local autocrosses, check out
http://www.autocross.us/forums/
There are links there to all of info for all of the local autocrosses, as well as a section called "new to autocross". Ask in the "new" section what air pressures you should run on you Accord (list tire size, rim size, brand, and any mods you might have done) and someone will have some good advice for your first event.

in the new to autocross section, there are also some things for helping you figure out what class your car is supposed to run in. There is also a first timer FAQ in there somewhere, but I don't rememebr where right now.

Yeah, I heard about that yesterday on the first gen mail list. People on the first gen list said that the replace rather than fix basically stood true on rotary engines since the late 70's. It was only in the early days that the dealer were supposed to do internal repairs. It seems that most recalls are what became Mazda rebuilts as they were all shipped to some rebuild center somewhere when replaced.

I replaced the clutch master cylinder today on my 83 FB and took it out for a drive. Its running good, but hard to get used to it after driving a single turbo FD. I will take it to Langey Wednesday night and run it.
I may have to recharge the AC before the race, it gets hot with the windows up
