Two spots left. And one pending cancel. So, maybe three.

Time's almost up!

Okay race fans.

I made arrangements for yet another Famous Fast Lunch but you'll want to chew it slow :hourglass: ....yum....and swallow hard :party: .

All the main food groups are covered. MOBY = Moo, Oink, Buckawk and Yeast.

Looking forward to seeing all of you :derp: and thumping a few of you :whip:

Anybody want to see the course? I thought so.

This one may look familiar. Chris designed it for an event a couple years ago.

Looks like a fast course. A couple of slaloms with a turn around.

No trash talk yet? Doug, Jeremy....hmm oddly silent.

More TALK about TRASH. NO you cannot use the 4 or 5 dumpsters you see on Airport Property!!!

I found 3 locations nearby to do that for you trailer/truck folks. 3 bags is normal.

1. Hess Sta @ corner of County Line and Rt41 has two 8cy dumpsters. Might be nice if you bought some gas or a coffee before filling their bins.

2. Target Store visible from road one 8cy dumpster @ Spring Hill Dr and Veterans XPWY. Follow drive next to McDonald's right to it.

3. Turn right on Sgt Road at old Hardware on Rt41 go to Anderson-Snow Rd turn left go to Public Soccer/Ball park 2-4cy dumpsters visible from road. Continue south on that road to pick up Veterans Xpwy ramp south or north @ County Line Rd.

How's that for some serious trash talk Bubba :buck:

Gerryburger....yoohoo.

I saw you get thumped by a Novice last month in a stock Scion :whine: :snicker: You got "Rob-ed" I guess?

You will be pleased to know I'm running legal slicks Sunday (Hankooks on the wearbars) and they aren't predicting any rain :box: :happyblob:

:director: I warned you those new tires are only fast in Reverse.

I will commit to taking TWO bags of trash every Brooksville event I am at. If I recall they are large bags so unfortunately 2 is probably all I can take. (I go to the in-laws for dinner who live off county line so I can drop it there.)

Thank you. If there's more than 2 we'll find someone else the day of the event. Unless...someone else wants to kindly volunteer to take the other bag or two of trash that there might be.

While the course does look like a blast, we might want to think about adjusting the trailer location... Where it is now might make it a bit tight getting lined up at the start. :headscratch:

The position of the start can be adjusted as-necessary.

Chris said they ran this course before, so it must have worked somehow. Nothing critical... it's just a start.

I know. I was just pulling a little leg.

I think the original design was pre-wireless timing days, so I'm betting the trailer was in the middle when we ran this before. Like you said, not critical.

An alarming amount of my brake fluid has gone awol. No wetness at the wheels, so I suspect it might be the crossover hose above the differential. Haven't been able to get home before dark to find it, much less fix it. I may be out for this weekend. Will advise, details to follow. That is all.

My fluid was being sucked into the engine via a failing master cylinder a few months ago. What exactly is an "alarming" amount of brake fluid for a 25 yr old Mustang? I remember you going into the grass with two wheels two months ago. That wasn't alarming?

Yeah "The Baron" has had the fastest Stang for the last few months = burp.

The Jerster told me: "the guy with rear drum brakes" that his 2013 brakes sucked at SPC. Hmmmmm.

Sounds like a hose job to me too.

That means: "Being the most laid back person in the autocross Universe I find it odd that you would bounce stones, direct exhaust, extricate loud noises into ones face and further heat up my timing area = thus causing extra reruns."

Take heart Ron the "new" generator has a 220VAC outlet that will easily run a wall mount AC unit so you can remain the coolest autocross dude ever. (Provided someone brings enough gas.)

I don't think AC will be that much of an issue this weekend. Heat, maybe. AC, no.
