Default 2008 Florida State Autocross Championships - Who's Going?

I'm new here, but some of you may know me. I'm Terry T, long time driver of a 2000 Honda S2000 in A-Stock.

Just wondering... Who's going to be at Sebring for the State Championships?



Here's the details: State Championship

And here's where to register: 2008 Florida State Autocross Championship

If you register and pre-pay before midnight October 31st, you'll get a 35th Anniversary commemorative shirt.

Scott and TR Crowd, As a way of introducing myself, the car in the above video you posted was mine, and I think my wife was riding with Jack. For those familiar with my car, it looks a little "plane" in the above video, as I've been getting some bodywork done, and haven't put the graphics back on yet. Here's a picture from last year's State Champs, fresh from its trip to Topeka: ERSCC 2007 State Championship Nov 11th : 773- powered by SmugMug

Hopefully it will be back close to its full glory by the State Championships!

EDIT: Nevermind - checked links above and got answer (yes).

Where do they autocross at Sebring? The big lot adjacent to the long rear straight?

Sounds like you got it. It's the concrete paddock area between turns 16 and 17 of the 12 hour back straight. IMHO, it's the grippiest concrete in the State of Florida.

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 should be able to make it in the contour. It's been a while since I've been to an autocross. I need more autocross!

Our wives have met each other at some of the previous events. I am hoping Patsy will help influence Mary to start driving too!
