FAST Bonus Event - SUNDAY, Jan 6 @ Brooksville

Postby Loren » Tue Dec 18, 2018 7:32 pm

What the heck is a "Bonus" event? It's something outside of the regular schedule. An extra practice event. You know... a BONUS!

They are mostly intended for experienced autocrossers, but we've set them up to allow a limited number of novices, and even a couple first-timers. The events will be very casual, sort of like a Classic event, and lunch will be included for all. But, we're running them as a split day, sort of like an Open event.

In a nutshell:
  • Split format Event, run Early or Late Session.
  • Only 24 drivers per session, so REALLY small event... should be 8-10 runs.
  • Times are being kept, but we're not even thinking about classes. This is purely for fun and practice.
  • Lunch is included.
Registration is open, and getting pretty close to full. If you missed out on the EnduroDuel, or if you just can't wait until January 12 for the next Open event... here's your chance! This is a SUNDAY event.

Looking forward to this one. Been wanting to get to an extra event. More seat time in the Miata!

Looking forward to giving the new-to-me ride a shakedown with you fine folks.



If I can get rid of that new CEL...
Consider my registration optimistic.

I have a shirt for Bob. One for Kurtis, too. Now, if I remember to bring them...

Here's something to think about while you're looking forward.

Short 1-car course, easy to staff with minimal course workers. Times should be in the low 30's. Tiny bit of start overlap should give us a nice 25-second start interval for lots of runs.

2019 Philip is funny!

Unfortunately had to miss the Duel, so I’m definitely looking forward to Sunday.
