Central Florida Road Course in-car video
In case anyone was interested in making their way up to Orlando for the Central Florida Road Course open track night here's a video to get you warmed up. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be and was well worth the $25 I spent. I would have been able to get 6 sessions in at roughly 10 minutes each if my car hadn't overheated after the 2nd & 3rd sessions.

Yep, that's the one. We also describe it as interesting and unique. In the beginning it was very sketchy and borderline unsafe but now that a local auto-xer is working for them and giving them pointers it's getting there, but still a long way to go. Can't beat it though for $25 and not having to work the course.
looks much safer than when I first went out there for the titan demo day. If a few friends go out I might take the truck out again just to dick around.
If you wouldn't mind me making a suggestion though.... Wait longer to do your downshifts, you are revving it up very high and that will eventually destroy your pressure plate. That repair will most likely consist of a new throwout bearing, pressure plate, and clutch disk. Quite costly.

Is there a set passing area.? Re how close the cars can get together. Id feel better if I knew the other drivers and was comfortable with thier skills.
I guess id have to sit in and hear the rules of the road before I decided..
Looks fun.. Ill have to get over there at some point.

So its $25 for so many laps? or the night? How does that work.
And how many runs do you get?
I may run over there for an event it there is enought seat time to justify a 90 min drive.

$25 per event night, 8-10 minute sessions 1 minute range lap times with 5-6 sessions per night depending on attendance.
40 to 60 minutes of track time for 25 is a great deal.
Do they allow karts and have kart only sessions?
*edit* never mind I see they have kart sessions.
