it's done, all the prep work and the route is finalized. Damn Hernando county decided to RE-grade my favorite road on the course so we lost about 6 miles of twisty turny dirt. (I'll use it next year) however there is still plenty to keep even the subaru's happy. 9 spots remain for walkup registration so if anyone was considering walking up get there early. the timing and positioning is based on a 40 car turnout. we can have less then 40 but no more. registration opens at 1:00 on the dot and closes at 2:30 no exceptions.

Jeff, can you reveal any sort of road type information? Like 50% gravel/dirt, etc? I'm trying to decide which tyres to run and I would prefer to not leave chance of getting stuck in some sand if at all possible.

I had to leave the soft sand out. although your rally tires will not be wasted, it's still ~45% unpaved.... and after awards I can take you back to the real roads and give you a little lesson in why rally experience is better then AWD. and school your arse with my FWD car on RE01R's

Thanks for the update. We're looking forward to it and hoping for good weather so that we don't get stuck. 
This is one event I don't think we're going to clean the car for.

if you can only race me in a straight line then whats the point

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.

should i be prepared to get stuck, you said you leave the soft sand out
i'm not worried about getting stuck, i just don't want to have to get out of
the car and dig my ass out
would smaller wheels and bigger tires help, i'm running on my ricer 17s with a 40 sidewall right now

Sometimes I think I live in the wrong part of the country. That said, I am looking forward to this weekend.
Yes, I wasted post #1000 on that crap.
