The current lot we use to race on is 600'x300'...the bigger the better. Need minimal obstructions, and a contact name to inquire about renting the site. Rest rooms (port-a-potties at a minimum), smooth surface (no broken pavement), preferably concrete, plenty of spectator shade, low chance of offending locals due to noise. Preferably within 50-100 miles of metro Orlando.

Some places we've checked into:

- Orlando Executive airport (too expensive)
- Tampa Fairgrounds (a bit far)
- Brooksville (requires LLC)
- St. Augustine tech center (safety concerns with sign posts)
- Gainesville Raceway (a bit far for a monthly event, plus cost is a bit high)

Anyone familiar with any other venues which might be usable?

 

MSCC moving? or something else?

not that its easily done but anyone ever tried disney? I know autoshow in motion is out there. Might have to deal with soem BS, but I mean come on, they don't use most of their parking lots.

 

Not moving, but I was hoping some fresh eyes might know of other sites. We don't have a backup when we get bumped.

 

The Detroit Region SCCA holds autocrosses in factory parking lots. I don't know if you have many factories down there in Orlando, but that might be worth a shot.

We also race in parking lots of expo centers and music venues. Event-based businesses like that are a really good bet. At any given time, the parking lot is either totally full (there's an event going on) or totally empty.

 

think we could do something in the resort/theme park area?

 

i think it would be tough to get disney to allow you to use their lots. you have to remember that the autoshow is run by GM, which is a big company and has a lot of money. you could try to get the convention center as long as they aren't having something going on there.

i think my friend nick tulio (him and his g/f drive the old mini and a gti) does the autocross events w/ you guys and he could probably talk to the convention center to set something up.

 

Brooksville, Hernando County?? I've never been autocrossing.

 

GM is a major, major sponsor of disney -- epcot in particular.

 

REally, you mean with the GM stunt show at MGM, and the GM test track ride at epcot?




LOL wonder if we can use the practice track fot the MGM stunt show or something...

 

you guys are missing the most important member of their relationship...."The World of Motion"
