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.

Like I told the Mustang guys who were trying to pimp the Corvette Club events a month or so ago, if you want more entries, you have to properly promote the events. "If you build it, they will come... but only if it's good and you tell them about it!"
In this case, you've got 3 people posting about the event, which is a good start. But, if the first post is mid-week 3 days before registration closes... how much can you expect it to help?
There needs to be proper event info put into the thread, too. If not by the first poster, very soon after. This thread does not effectively convey that "Central Florida Autocross" = CFR SCCA. It doesn't tell anyone WHERE in Deland this event is. It doesn't provide basic newb info like "what's the cost", "are loaner helmets available", "what time do I need to be there"? And it doesn't link to a good source for more information.
Please take this as constructive criticism. I'm just trying to help. If you want to make your club healthy again, somebody needs to do a far better job of leveraging the internet. Thorough event promotion posts (with backup... can't be just one person "spamming", you need discussion) here and on other relevant forums WILL bring people to your events. I know this from experience. It works so well that FAST had to STOP doing it!

It was a nice event yesterday. We had 46 entries and a lot of Novices which is great because some of them were repeats. Seeing Joan C. in the Vette always pushes me to push harder. On bald tires about to cord she pulls a raw time of a 42.x.
The return section was incredibly fast.
Taking a ride with Jerry S. in his SE-R was insane. I have no fear of driving that fast, just not enough grip right now. lol. Thanks to Nick B. and Terry T. for the instruction. It was a good practice day.
