Do they do GCAC run/work groups on event day?

Hmmmm, here's a link: http://gulfcoastautocrossers.com/for...onshipForm.pdf no mention of SCCA. I must be mistaken, this isn't the SCCA State Championships?? GCAC hold their own state championship event?

Oh well, still looks like fun. Anyone know when / where the SCCA State Championships are being held, or does one Autox club get selected each year to host the event?

Scott

It used to be a "roving" event.

I looked at a couple announcements from years past and they call it the State Championships... No SCCA designation. So a 'roving' occurrence seems to be the case. Either way, we'll be there! The GCAC venue is huge!

Planning on being there. Doc said no broken bones so there is hope!

So if anyone wants to share a hotel let me know.

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.

The Florida State Autocross Championships rotate around different clubs -- it's not specifically an SCCA event. I went down a few years back when GCAC ran it, and it was a wacky, run-and-work-at-random intervals flow. While the site and the competition are great, and I could camp out on Sam's couch, it's not worth the trip to put up with such a slapdash setup.

Scott are those dates right, Friday and Saturday?

Either way on the 13th we have our annual CRX meet as seeing as I just had the brat painted and the engine is all good to go, FINALLY, I'll be attending that. Bummer that these events crossed paths.

Jamie I feel you on this. It makes no sense to me either. I wish the members down there could prove they are worthy of having a regular event without the issues they had in the past that had caused this.

It is a Saturday and Sunday. The deadline for having your registration in is 11/1!!!! Don't miss it! They have a huge grippy area and generally some very looooooong courses! Just do it!By the way, anyone know of decent campgrounds near Buckingham field (with power hook-ups)?Scott
