Default Key West - The Bay Bottom Crawl

Okay I may have the title of the event wrong but I remember that it was posted in here for last October and I was trying to get a look ahead on it for this year.

It was a 3.5 mile or something insane like that autox course held in Key West and near the water because I remember if you lose control the car and you go for a swim.

Anyone? Anyone?

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

It's called the "Bay Bottom Crawl." Here's the org's site: www.evscc.com/

I was just thinking about this event too. Didn't have my car for last-year's, but it looks like tons of fun.

Wow, that looks neat.

I'm a total novice at this, but I went to that Mazda driving thing last year and it seems like that guy is breaking some of the basic rules they set- is he coasting in neutral through some of those slaloms? They told us never to do that, to always keep it in gear.

He states above the link that that was his first time around the course. I believe they have practice runs on Saturday and the Sunday runs counts.
I would expect the times runs to be much faster.
