Default How to enter events?

This forum seems to have slowed down quite a bit, maybe some of you remember me but I went to the Brooksville Auto X a few months ago to spectate and rode along with a few different people. Well I see the schedule for events but I am not sure if I have to sign up prior to or what? I'm not really looking to travel around everywhere and really compete, basically just learn my car better and hone some driving skills. I would like to attend as many Brooksville events as possible because it is only 10 minutes from my house. Where do I start, I have a SNELL SA2010 helmet and the car.

I normally check the sticky schedule in this forum, decode the abbreviations to see who is hosting the event, then go to their web site to learn the registration process.

Three are plenty of events that are hosted at the Airport that never make their own thread in the forum. For instance, the FCRC is holding a test and tune this weekend (12th) and I'm going with a group of about 6 cars. It's going to be cold...

What he said. The airport at Brooksville requires clubs to submit an access list a week before each event, so all autocrosses at Brooksville should require pre-regisration, and every club handles it differently.

Most other sites don't require pre-registration. You can just go (early... 8-9am) and register on-site. Though some clubs have entry limits and you might not get in that way (FAST), and some clubs charge a late entry fee if you don't pre-register (SCCA).

You might consider the FAST Novice School, it's coming up next month at SPC. Definitely a good way to get started.

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.
