I was there 2 or 3 years ago and they had no cones on the Gainesville track. You took one lap as a warm up lap and then you had a running start at the starting line. They timed you for 2 laps after that.

I didn't think it was worth the money, but we had the event cut short due to serious rain.

If you go make sure you have fresh brake fluid. If you haven't attended an auto-x at Gainesville, I would probably do that first just to learn some of the curves and how the surface feels.

$80, plus they charged us $15 for a novice Solo Trials license. At the event, they forgot to charge me for the license and then a couple months later I got a check in the mail from the SCCA for $15. I assume this was a refund for a license that I never bought. Sweet.

You don't need a cage. Street Mod is not a Modified class. Modified classes are A Mod, B Mod, etc. AFAIK

Jeremy is correct. Street Modified isn't considered part of the Modified classes. It's something totaly separate.


Back in the day, it was Stock -> Street Prepared-> Prepared -> Modified.


Then they added the Street touring classes. SM was originally an extension of those that allowed more mods and competition tires.

I'm debating running it in the Cobra. I don't know that I'm comfortable enough with it to do it this year.... On top of it, I'll have some work to do to pass tech inspection. (Arm restraints, new harnesses (y harnesses aren't permitted afaik).
