Finally finished the facility map last night. Will get it integrated with the event info soon. It should help people understand where to go when they get to the site.
Tampa Bay Downs Facility Map for FAST events

Still working on a course map.

hahahaha. Now I know why John can't sleep. These guys are pretty much mental. How many spectators did that one guy kill a couple years ago due to a highly modified WW2 plane that came apart after he passed out?

BTW these cones are definately not in the sky.

Since this place is a stone's throw from our house, I will volunteer for picking up drinks and ice. Got the Subaru for hauling duty.

Awesome and Congrats ! ! :thumbwink: I was hoping that was the reason why you couldn't make it ! I can help you with your remodel, but my charge will be that you have to put 3 or 4 sixty pound bags of Reedy Mix in your trunk on your next couple of autocrosses ! :snicker:

Everytime I see a reply to this post I am hoping its a course map. I bet somewhere out there someone else is hoping for a cancel so they can get in this event.

Well good news for the person waiting out there as I am unable to make this one. :bangwall:

Cancel #727 Matt Brooks please.
