I haven't heard of anything and haven't seen anything about it on the forums either. I'll take another look around.

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.

I found this on the SCCA cfrauto2 yahoo user group

"The State Champs are being hosted this year by Martin Sports Car
Club. The Champs will be held on Sunday November 9th, with a planned
practice day on Saturday November 8th. The club is in the final
stages of getting the chosen site under contract, and I can't say any
more about the site until that occurs. But I believe that will
be wrapped up this week, so stay tuned. Costs are somewhat going to
be determined by the particulars of the contract with the site as
well, so that will have to wait for the official announcement from
Martin Sports Car Club."

Info is up but registration is not open when I checked it today. Also it doesn't state it but do you still have to qualify to be there with a certain amount of events ran in the state?

Home

Join us for the 35th Annual
Florida State Autocross Championship
Martin Sportscar Club is hosting the event this year, and we hope you'll join us for an opportunity to burn rubber with some of the region's best drivers at historic Sebring International Raceway.

2008 Florida State Autocross Championships
Saturday Nov. 8 & Sunday Nov. 9
Sebring International Raceway
113 Midway Dr
Sebring, FL 33870

Pre-Registration is required!!!! Register here at MyAutoEvents.

Site Details: The Autocross Championships will be held on the concrete paddock area along the backstraight between turns 16 and 17. (Please note there is also a Chin Motorsports track day and a Skip Barber school being held at the track this weekend so make sure you are in the right area.) After entering the main gate (Gate 1) immediately take the small access road on the right. There should be a small shed where you will have to sign a safety waiver. From there go straight and drive across the bridge that goes over turn 17 and then you should see the paddock area in front of you on the right.

Schedule:

Nov 8th - Practice Day ($30)
10am-4pm - Practice
Tech available through out the day (highly encouraged!)

Nov 9th - Event Day ($70)
8:00-9:30am - Registration/Tech/Course walking
9:30-9:45am - Drivers Meeting
10:00am - First Car Out

Lunch will be provided on Sunday only. All participants will get a commemorative shirt. This event will feature SCCA-style run order and car classes.

I am pretty sure there are not any 'qualifications' to participate. We'll be there! I just booked a hotel for it.

$70 does seem a bit steep, but I guess you get a T-shirt ($15) and lunch ($10)... so the autocross entry is only $45. That's not so... no... wait, that still sucks.

I got nothin'.
