Default another newbie

Hi, I've never autoXed before and would like to give it a try next Spring. I have a 4-cyl. 04 Accord Coupe 5-speed with everything stock except for the muffler. I live near Washington DC and have found the DC-area chapter of SCCA's website. Is the SCCA the only way for me to get into autoX? I'd appreciate any tips regarding how to find local events, etc... I'm not planning on being competitive, just to have fun...

Also, I don't like the way my car understeers and would like to know whether there is an affordable way to fix it (alignment or cheap suspension mods maybe?). Ideally I'd like to have it set up so that it oversteers slightly when I accelerate through a turn.

Also, do you experts double clutch while heel & toeing or do it the single-clutch way? And do you ride with the stock pedals?
That's it for now. Thanks a lot
