May 4 FAST Open @ Dunnellon

Thanks for putting on a great event. I never thought I would find myself the slowest car of the day. I'm glad that no one ended up creaming the pink/red cones (not even me!) as I had expected. I'm looking forward to the next event I can attend. I'll have photos uploaded later but for now here is ...

FAST Open Autocross - May 4 - Dunnellon


If I remember correctly then pink cones = automatic DNF if you hit them. I think there will be many DNFs this event. RIP Pink cones.
Untrue.

We may do special events during which certain cones hit do result in dnf, but that's rare, and never at an Open or Classic. Down or out - 2 sec penalty ...

June 4 post

Ron was on the radio and out the window yelling for a red flag, and courseworkers did nothing.

I feel like we might want to see if we could improve the walkies. It can be intimidating to use the red flags when there is squawking on the radio. It might also be worth it to make corner captains ...

June 4 post

Really fun day. I don't think I've ever seen so many DNFs. Can't wait to see the videos from the first run group. If we do a course like this again we should put blood packets in the cones.

I submit my run of 57.8 for review.

FAST Open Autocross - June 4 - Tampa Bay Downs

Phew, i got one of the last slots in the early session. This should be the event that kills my all season tires. It will also be my first time at this venue; Is there anything I need to prepare for?

I'm sad that I won't be able to make it. The weather should be perfect. I even gave my car a full service and attempted to make the paint better.

Woah, calm down there. He's joking about actually running the truck. I just want to see his reaction if the truck were actually allowed to run.

His truck is a stock 2002 Dodge Dakota crew cab 4X4. Tires are nothing special. I'm guessing it's a "we'll decide when we see it" type of thing? It's not on the SCCA classing list so what class might it go in?

FAST Open Autocross - May 7 - Brooksville

So, I have a silly question. I'm trying to convince him to co-drive my car, but he is hesitant. He does keep (sarcastically) saying that he could beat me in his Dodge. I figured I'd call his bluff by registering him in his Dodge and see if he'll man up.

Any chance this thing would be allowed to run ...

4/9 Post Event

This was a really fun event, the figure eight should show up more often. Don't be too critical of the video, it was my worst run (after penalties). I had camera trouble for the better runs :derp: I am looking forward to photos though. :)

So, the prelude is HS, but has 205 width tires. Do I really have to put it in S4 with all season tires? :-D

Waidaminute! My wife's accord has 195 width tires!

If i give you my phone number could you text a screenshot?

Also, we will be putting the insight's tires on the civic for this event. I believe that will bump it to M4 from S5? The tires are 205 wide tires.

Re: March 12 - FAST Open - Brooksville

We just tightened up the leaks on the AMX, now it's off to the shop for a new carburetor and fan shroud then it should be good to go! Has the S10 run before? That will be interesting to see.

Re: March 12 - FAST Open - Brooksville

Finally going to get the AMX to the track! The driver does have a bum knee though. What kind of work assignment can he expect?
