Postby Loren » Sat Aug 25, 2018 11:17 pm

2019 FAST Championship. The line starts here.

Just so ya know, I've had a surprising number of people emailing me over the past month or so asking when they can register for both this event and the October Open event. That probably means a wave of new competitors is coming our way. What am I trying to say? Same thing I always say, "register early".

Registration & Event Info

Basic event details:
  • This is a FAST Open autocross, that means that it is open to all licensed drivers.
  • Novices and first-timers are encouraged to enter!
  • Pre-registration is REQUIRED for all Drivers AND Guests. We can't let you in the gate if you're not registered.
  • Driver entry fee is $39.99, guest entry fee is $7.99.
  • This will be a split-format event. You can enter the Early session 8am-12pm or the Late Session 12:30pm-5pm, or both.
  • Snacks and cold beverages will be provided for all registered drivers and guests.

Yours is probably the only "certified" ride in FAST this coming season. :thumbwink: I'm not even buying tires - only add fresh air. Will check oil, battery and retorque wheels.

I think I might check my tire pressures. I looked that the tires when I did the brakes. They're not wearing enough in the middle. So, I'll put a couple more PSI in them. And then forget about them for another 3 months.
