Aug 10 FAST Classic @ Venice Airport

Postby **Loren** » Tue Jul 30, 2019 11:33 pm

We haven't had an actual FAST Classic autocross since March! We're long overdue.

This is a Classic event, which means fewer entries, more runs and no formal novice instruction. We're allowing "some" novices and even a couple first-timers at Classic events now, but in very limited numbers. If you're one of those people, you might want to register earlier than usual.

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

Registration is open until August 7th, but will likely be filled before then. Y'all know what to do.

This event is at Venice, which is another restricted airport site, so pre-registration is required for ALL drivers and guests.

As of this moment, there are only 6 entries left. If you're not registered already, you might want to get that way!

Down to 2 spots now! Just registered - looking forward to running with y'all again.

Any noise restriction at this site? Might look to bring the Datsun out if I can get it back together in time.

Same noise limits everywhere.

I was about to post the course map. Then I decided to tweak it. A lot.

Gotta run it past Safety again...

I’ll love it until I see the times and realize Miatas are slow

Hopefully there’s enough squiggly bits to catch back up

It's give and take. There's a fast part or two. But, the rest is tricky. It'll be fun for a Classic!

I'll probably be slumming for a co-drive, maybe co-drives.

Looks fair and fun for every type of car.

Holy sh!t!! is that an actual defined straight that I see there or am I hallucinating?

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you a narrow strip of pavement with poles on both sides, you make a straight.

CaptainSquirts · Postby **CaptainSquirts** » Fri Aug 02, 2019 3:04 pm

I'm assuming those red dots are the poles?

I posted two different course maps and nobody noticed.

The PDF map is correct. The PNG image is wrong.

I'll fix it momentarily.

The course is mostly the same, just the way the entry to the loop is coned is different.
