FAST Classic Autocross - SUNDAY, Aug 12 @ Brooksville

Postby **Loren** » Sun Jul 15, 2018 9:22 pm

* This is a SUNDAY event *

It's the August Classic! This will be our only autocross for the month. It's gonna be hot, but it'll be a good time. And maybe it'll keep your autocross-jones under control between July and September?

This is a Classic event, which means fewer entries, more runs and no formal novice instruction. We do require all entrants to have competed in at least 5 prior autocross events so that they sort of know what they're doing (or enlist an experienced sponsor).

We'll be providing lunch for all registered drivers and guests at this event.

Registration is open until August 6. You know what to do, and you know to do it early.

This event is at Brooksville, so pre-registration is required for ALL drivers and guests.

I knew there was something I forgot!

Hey, y'all. There are 8 drivers registered. 5 of them are NOT regular FASTies.

Lots of folks are trying to get all of the seat time they can get on concrete in preparation for the Solo Nationals in September.

Please register early. This event is for you, not for them! But, if they beat you to the punch...

Go register!

We're at the half-way point for this event. 8 FAST regulars. 15 other folks.

Between travel and work looks like I will have to aim for September to test out the new cockroach feet on the Brooksville concrete. And maybe a Stage II cam...

Hey! There are only about 8 slots left for this one. If you're not already registered, you should be!

I expanded registration from 48 to 51 drivers. (3 groups of 17, awesome) So, there are now 4 openings left. You know what to do.

This event is now fully sold out!

And here's the course map. This was based on the early December course from last year, it's mostly just longer. The goal was to try to get a minute out of it.

looks like a fun course, one suggestion the 4 cone slalom at station 3: should there be pointer cones at the start!

Reviewed the classing guidelines, looks like my pitiful four banger should be in M1 class!!

not a problem, I am such a masterful driver, I can finish last in either class.

Feel free to drive it the opposite way. It probably won't be slow and painful at all.

With the gate and no pointer cone that typically makes the slalom optional, you can go either way. With more runway width and a more devious course designer the gate would be moved to the right complicating your decision.

Sometimes an optional slalom is truly optional and it doesn't matter which way you take it. Such is not the case with this one. But, we're not going to DNF you for driving it wrong.

I think its only fair if drew takes that slalom starting on the right.

May as well have him close his eyes, too.

Just make him drive the Mirage.
