Looks to me like Brooksville in future needs to have only 60 available racer spaces + 5 guests + 5 critical workers reserved spots.

I found it interesting to collect the waiting list info this time. It shows that we could have registered at least 78 drivers for this event. More than I expected.

Where's that course map? If there's no pin turn, I'm going to be disappointed.

Either way, it's a little easier to fix before the event than waiting until event day.
Thanks Loren, we will get him "fixed".
Thanks for all the fun,

As far as I can tell, my SRT-4 is SCCA class STX (2013) or possibly DSP (2013)?
.... which as far as I can tell puts me in FAST class M3.
(that took way too long to figure out)

Well... my need for income to pay my mortgage over powered my desire to autocross (how wrong is that?) so I have dropped my spot for February. Happy #1 spot on the waiting list.

Here's the course. This is one of Brian's courses from last June. I don't have time to adjust the map right now, but there's a gate after the turn-around that was deleted when we set the course up last time. I expect we'll do the same again since everyone seemed to like the course just the way it was.

So put that in your playstation and smoke it for two weeks.
This is only fair as it rained that day in June and many didn't get to run it flat out.
Some of us cannot remember what we had for lunch either.

I also moved the center cone in the Chicago Box in a bit, that really made people think about which side to exit the slalom before they entered the CB. Oh and last time we ran this course the slalom going out was suppose to be deceasing, but somehow it never got translated to the final map, so that may be tweeked as well.Loren wrote:Here's the course.

Re: Feb 16th - Brooksville autox - the Pivot Cone calls...
Remember that everyone really, really liked this course last time, and there were no complaints from safety about it being "too fast". So, I would be hesitant to make any changes that would make it "more challenging" or "slower". Make the same changes you made last time... and hope it stays dry this time so everyone gets to enjoy it!Jamie wrote:Looks like a real killer....Solar wrote:Oh and last time we ran this course the slalom going out was suppose to be deceasing....

Being an "optional" series of slaloms you can choose to drive straight by them and hope the course workers are asleep if it makes you seasick?islandmon wrote:This course must have been designed by someone in a slow car!

The pizzas will be laced with dramamine so not to worry.
BTW?? Talk about getting in at the last minute
