Hi. i live in the Brooksville/Spring Hill area and i have never known there is any kind of Auto X event in the area. I would really like to come watch, ive never been to anything like this and im very curious to see what goes on. Where is it held, What time, and what day? Is there any fees for spectating? Thanks for any help.

One thing that I would like to see changed is the tech proceedure. I think that having to line up the cars for tech wastes a lot of time. I was a member of a club in South Florida (Equip Rapide) several years ago and we would use several tech guys which would GO TO THE CARS parked in the paddock area. They would walk around with clip boards, tire gages and t-wrenches and tech the car where it is parked. They can have a guy tech'd within minutes of him parking his car. It just saves the time it takes to line up, stand in the tech line and than go park again.

I'm going to be the event chairman at the Oct. PCA event and we're going to try this. Change is good.

**please note in the comment box for Rafael that you are only there to spectate so that registration has a correct count on the number of cars/drivers.
I dont think there are any fees for watching/hanging out. At the website, search for FSC 5th Autocross, June 11th

there is No fee for watching. We just need the names of the visitors for the access list.Sign up at my auto events with a note that you are a spectator. ( I dont know if this will take away from the 50 head count we allow to register to drive , If so ) Just Send the names to AutoX @ 24hr.us

I have no problem with the braking before the turn around. The problem with some of the other courses, such as the March course, is on the way back. I redlined 3rd (65 mph) and braked hard, three times. Then I redline 4th (80 mph), braked hard, and downshift to 2nd. One or two hard braking zones are okay, IMO, but I had to brake hard 4 times on the way back. At that event, Bob (silver miata on hoosiers) didn't even take his last run because his brakes were overheating. I took my 5th run and overheated my brakes.

I'm not complaining, though!
