We'd have to see the Tacoma, but it would probably be okay to run. It's top-heavy SUV's an minivans that we generally shy away from. Pickups are usually okay if they're not jacked up.

Muddy, you don't want to come to this event because you're afraid I'll whoop up on you again.

And Willis, you can find lots of pointers in the sticky posts at the top of the forum.

I ain't skeert! I think I will need the extra runs at BMWCCA to figure out what shock settings to use on my Bilsteins, now that I have added a RB 1.25" front ASB.

I would like to run at Brooksville again. I liked the big course. However, I have never driven the SPC course. I signed up - hope to make it there this time.

I know the event starts @ 7, but how late is it & how many runs/passes/trials/etc does each driver get? Is there like awards or whatever afterwards? Just curious on the layout of the day, never been to one before.

You know, it's very difficult to read and comprehend your posts with that sig image you have there.

The usual schedule for a SunRiders event (by the way, this is the next to last SunRiders event... after December, SunRiders will no longer be doing autocrosses, we're making the move to NASA and there will be a few changes in how things are done) goes something like this:

7:00am - People start showing up and setup begins.
8:00am - Registration opens
9:30am - Registration closes
10:00am - Driver's meeting
10:30am - First car out
Noonish - Lunch
3-4:00pm - We clean up and go home.

We normally split into three run groups. One group will run while another group works the course and the third group hangs out. We try to do a minimum of 6 runs and often do more than that.

We don't do awards, but we do post results on the website after the event. (this is one of the things that may be changing with NASA... a little more competition, event awards, season championship, etc)
