Lots of autocross events coming up. If you're at all interested in attending the higher-speed events at Gainesville, you should attend as many events beforehand as possible. Waivers are not insurance against lack of experience in a track atmosphere. I believe we will be requiring novices to ride with an instructor or very experienced co-pilot at Gainesville. We expect speeds to approach 110 on the back straight in the Z06/Viper-style cars. This is not a road course, and each of the competitive three runs is expected to last 40-50 seconds.

So please, we'd love to have you come out and have a fantastic time. But it would be best to get some experience in ahead of time. There are a lot of things to learn which do not involve being in your car. If you decide to not come back, we want it to be because you decide it's not for you...not because you're in the hospital.

The normal monthly events are either $20 or $25 for non-members. The Gainesville events are $40 for non-members. Once you have three events under your belt you're eligible to join. Member rates are $12 per normal event, and $25 at Gainesville, plus ~$30/yr in dues.

Upcoming events:
--------------------------
9/14 September monthly event at Lake County/Tavares
10/25 October event - Maxi-Prix at the Gainesville test track
11/1 MSCC hosts Florida SCCA Nationals @ Gainesville test track (MSCC rules, SCCA bracketing on Saturday) (November event)

Hope to see some new faces out there!

 

You can also add Sept 28th @ VCC West Campus (SCCA Event)

 

Not sure I can make the 14th that is probably the one day next week I will be schedule to work.

But the Maxi Prix I have to make it out to that, even if I rent a car if my pos is giving me troubles

 

Count me in Eric.. We can follow each other there...

 

I should finally be getting a manual car in December (when they first come out ) and I've been dying to run something other than drag racing. Hopefully there's plenty going on then

 

And what manual car would this be? I think I know what you're getting at...

 

Sounds good.

Anyone know if there is a pre-registration pre-payment involved?

 

They will be having pre-registration and pre-payment (via PayPal) from the MSCC website again this year for the Gainesville events. However, the information has not yet been posted on the MSCC site.

Doesn't seem like the site is being kept up-to-date all that well.

I'm curious about Brett's new manual car as welll......

 

There is no preregistration available for the September event this Sunday. There will definately be preregistration for the October events. Maybe even pretech the night before. That was an idea that was mentioned at the meeting. Nothing definate there yet.

 

Jee, I wonder....it's not definite yet....so I'll just let the suspense build....perhaps I could mention that it ate up the other road race cars recently in the RWD class over in New Zealand

 

Yeah i figured that for the one on sunday, jsut I seem to remember last maxi prix I registered like a month and a half early.

As for the new zealand class winning car... would this new car have a nickname of an animal that likes to eat tin cans?

 

MustangEater, you might be on the right track, but I'll let you be the JUDGE of that
