FAST Classic Autocross - Sep 8 @ Brooksville
What's that you say? You need just a little more practice before the first event of the 2019 Championship? Say no more. We got your back, fam!
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 September 3. 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.

Registration is 1/3 full already. And those people are mostly "new and unfamiliar" names, which is great! But, it also means that if you're slacking and thinking you're going to register at the last minute... it's probably not going to happen for you.
Go get registered!
Go get registered!

Look it's just a matter of time. S3 needs to fill up with a lot of wannabee's. I've got 20lbs/HP facing them. Shouldn't be too hard for them to win? Or never come back. That's sort of my quandary. I want them to come back. I also want to kick their butts. I'll decide next week. At least wife would get a decent meal out of it as a "guest"/passenger this time. Are these people coming to the picnic too? They should. Bring roasted corn.

Not so much in the rain tho' right? (Geezus my Vette vert is 9.5lbs/HP and runs low 13's in 1/4. How scary fast is that thing?)Rawkkrawler wrote:I'm partial to my 6.2lbs/HP

Alright, y'all. Here's the course map. Putting it out a little early so that you can stew on it for a while. Just remember to keep it on a slow simmer.

Even looks interesting driven in reverse direction but then of course you'd have to move the trailer.
Hey they started mowing the hay out there (where we don't run). There's every reason to believe it will all be baled by this event.

Baled hay can be good or bad. Sometimes they leave the bales in bad places. A saw a car at a BMW event slide into one of those giant round hay bales once. Soft-dented every panel on the side of the car! Made me much more aware of such things.

Those things are heavy, but they do roll. We've had to move at least one before.

Some drivers just don't get it? I watched a C5 and an STi get lost into the weeds recently at the airport. There were others I didn't see do it. Somehow I kept a 3799lb whale out of there and never hit a cone in 8 tries (3 reruns from dipshits) and didn't finish last. The object is to not hit a cone and stay on the pavement. Isn't it?AScoda wrote:Those things are heavy, but they do roll. We've had to move at least one before.

And making those little RX-8 tires squeal the whole time....
