How many runs typically? Sorry for all the questions, but it is a bit of drive for me.

Most people will usually get 6-8 runs, but it all depends on when you get there, and when you leave.

Just an idea, now that we have a timing system that can support multiple cars on a course, this course should be able to safely support 2 cars on the course at the same time.



Feedback is always welcome!

Maybe. There's alot going on right in front of the start. Depending on how fast people get through the first part of the course, I can picture one car finishing about the time the car behind enters the sweeper coming back across the start, and another car staged waiting to start. That puts three cars too close together.

Were I doing it, I'd back the start line up to get at least 100 ft separation between the sweeper and the start line (more if there's room), and eliminate the loop on the right side of the course near the end -- just send 'em out there and bring them back across to the finish without the additional loop. That way, you can start the second car after the first has cleared the hard left at the end of the sweeper (headed towards the right side of the picture); the first car will finish before the second gets back, and the guy stationary at the start line isn't worried about either one spinning into his nose.

That was pretty much exactly how I was going to run it, only though I'm not sure if I want to take out the entire loop, from seeing people in the past going through the "8" takes a little more than 10 seconds, so I figure once the car passes, like you said, the left end of the sweeper.

The course is subject to adjust when we test it though. But thanks for your feedback!

My car is being tuned in Tampa on Friday. As long as they finish it in time, I will be there Saturday morning. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone there and learning from other drivers. What time does the course open? How much time to do tech inspection? Will there be a place for me to change my street tires to track tires? Thanks for any info!

The gates will open a little before 9am (probably at 8:30).

It's $30 per driver, cars that have multiple drivers don't pay anything extra.

There are designated pit areas for you to change your tires.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
