I think there are a few avid autocrossers on our forums and they can help you out.

I'm thinking that you'll only need a helmet (snell 95 and higher) and a saftey check to autocross at sanctioned events.

You'll want to decide on what category you want to race in.

Good starter links there.

Here are some links to NorthEastern regions to find events in your area.

Start with a stock car. Once you're a better driver, then upgrade your car.

Money spent on drivings schools will drop your times much, much more than money spent on mods.

I've heard particularly good things about Evo schools. http://www.autocross.com/evolution/
