Anyone going to Deland FL for Central Florida Autocross?

Angela is entered. I will be there.

This event is a practice event, no points or trophies, and all the runs that one wants to make.

Should be great weather.

[rosckowff]

Awesome, I will be there!

Only 20 entries as of last night, registration closes at 8pm this Saturday.

rosckowff, what will you be driving?

Like I told the Mustang guys who were trying to pimp the Corvette Club events a month or so ago, if you want more entries, you have to properly promote the events. "If you build it, they will come... but only if it's good and you tell them about it!"

In this case, you've got 3 people posting about the event, which is a good start. But, if the first post is mid-week 3 days before registration closes... how much can you expect it to help?

There needs to be proper event info put into the thread, too. If not by the first poster, very soon after. This thread does not effectively convey that "Central Florida Autocross" = CFR SCCA. It doesn't tell anyone WHERE in Deland this event is. It doesn't provide basic newb info like "what's the cost", "are loaner helmets available", "what time do I need to be there"? And it doesn't link to a good source for more information.

Please take this as constructive criticism. I'm just trying to help. If you want to make your club healthy again, somebody needs to do a far better job of leveraging the internet. Thorough event promotion posts (with backup... can't be just one person "spamming", you need discussion) here and on other relevant forums WILL bring people to your events. I know this from experience. It works so well that FAST had to STOP doing it!

I agree Sir, thank you for the feedback Sir

Pimping, promoting...

It was a nice event yesterday. We had 46 entries and a lot of Novices which is great because some of them were repeats. Seeing Joan C. in the Vette always pushes me to push harder. On bald tires about to cord she pulls a raw time of a 42.x.

The return section was incredibly fast.

Taking a ride with Jerry S. in his SE-R was insane. I have no fear of driving that fast, just not enough grip right now. lol. Thanks to Nick B. and Terry T. for the instruction. It was a good practice day.

I guess you'd be making money at it if you were pimping, huh?

I just like an event with 20-30 drivers. Last time FCRC had 36 which was fine.


This sounds like a great event. Wish I had time to get out more.

Ahhhh Rolex 24 consumed all my time, I will make it out next time
