It's time for that annual FAST Autocross School! We're doing it a little differently this time, using a format that's not unlike what we've done at some of our Classic events where we included a "practice element". It's going to be a little more casual than past schools, and NOT a true "novice school". We're not inviting first-time autocrossers. The target here is people who have been autocrossing with FAST for a little while. We want to take those people who are already "hooked", and help them learn to be faster! And "instructors" instead of just being there as instructors, will also be doing the practice exercises WITH the students, which allows them to do some additional "demonstration" in their own cars, as well as a little "test and tune" in their own cars to sharpen their own skills. Oh, and we'll be doing timed baseline and end-of-day runs on a full course. Should be a win-win for everybody with 5-6 timed runs, focused practice elements, and lunch!
The practice elements and the course itself will be very similar to what we've done at recent schools. Just the format of the event will be different.
- Y'all know the drill. Same participation rules as every other Brooksville FAST event.
- We'll start by inviting newish, but active members to be "student participants".
- We'll also be inviting qualified "instructor participants".
- We're planning on a maximum of 32 students and 16 instructors. Split into 4 run groups. That's 4 instructors for each group of 8 students.
- Plan on the whole day -- the event will run from approximately 7:00am - 5:00pm.
- It will be a busy day for all, but it will be a lot of fun, and you WILL learn some things!
- All participants will get two preliminary timed runs, and 4 timed runs at the end of the day.
- All participants will work course some.
- All will rotate through three practice exercises.
- All will partake of the World Famous FAST Lunch, along with water and sodas.
- Unlike our past schools, we don't have "volunteers" paid or otherwise. Everyone is a participant, this helps us keep the cost down for the "students", and "instructors" are getting a deeply discounted rate for their own seat time and lunch in exchange for focusing much of their time on teaching.
Really though we'll see, I always get too far into my own head to be able to give good advice on points days. I'm looking forward to seeing how I can help a noob or two when the focus is off my own times.
