Florida Suncoast Autox # 2 Apr 2011

Brooksville-Hernando Airport

About this event

Come and join us for a great event at Brooksville-Hernando Airport in Brooksville.  

 

We try to get 8 runs and lunch is included! Rain or shine.

 All Drivers and Spectators MUST register on this site. 

If you have issues with signing up or know someone without a computer please contact an administrator.

We are limited to 50 drivers once we hit 50 we will then have a waitlist of 5 drivers.

This Event and all future are Pre-Pay Only, this is partly due to security and people not showing up after registration

If you have any issues with the registration process please e-mail me at blue325i@verizon.net

BMW CCA and PCA members will still be charged $25 to run at the events.

Non-Members will be $35

A BMW CCA Membership is only $48 for the year and includes discounts, a great magazine and you do not need a BMW to join.

People who do not prepay will be put on the waitlist and if the event is full of prepaid participants you are bumped.

Food is for those who have paid for or ordered it in advance.  If you are a driver or a spectator who has paid for food you wil get a wristband.

The Airport entrance is located on SR 41 about 2 miles north of the County Line Rd and SR 41 intersection.  Cross over the railroad tracks and look for the BMW sign on the left side of SR 41 or for a BMWCCA Sign. Make the left turn and proceed to the gate. Please arrive no later than 8:00 am.   

Event requirements

 

Airport officials require us to submit a list of attendees in advance, so online regsitration  is mandatory.  Registration will close 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE EVENT NO EXCEPTIONS.  ALL PARTICPANTS, INCLUDING ENTRANTS AND GUESTS MUST PRE-REGISTER PRIOR THE SUNDAY BEFORE THE EVENT TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE SITE!  Entries cancelled prior to the registration deadline will receive credit for future events. 

Note:  The airport authority still insists on limiting us to 75 people unless we hire security at their rates...so we're still forced to limit guests.  As in the past, we've set an entry limit of 50, leaving 25 guest spaces.  If you are on the waitlist and we do not have 25 spectators we will add you to the event and reduce the number of  spectators. Sorry...this aspect is beyond our control.

 What do I need to bring with me?   How do I Classify my car?

 There is only four things to bring or do to run an autocross:
 
  1. Helmet - You should bring a helmet with you with a rating of Snell 2000 or higher*. You can find out what your helmet rating is by peeling back the cushion on the inside of your helmet. It will have a decal stating the type of helmet and its certification rating. Motorcycle and open-face helmets are acceptable for use in an autocross. If you do not have a helmet, please try to borrow one from a friend before you arrive.   Your helmet MUST be teched before you can run.
  2. Car - While your own car is not necessary to participate (you can share a vehicle), the car you bring must be in good mechanical condition. Things to check are:
    1. No leaking fluids (oil, coolant, power steering)
    2. Tires must have air and tread (no cords showing)
    3. Gas cap and battery are secure (battery must not be able to move)
  3. Misc Items - Plastic to cover your belongings since they are not allowed to be in the trunk and its Rainy season. Also an umbrella for shade/ due to rainy season. Sun tan lotion. Remember to bring a cooler with enough water / refreshments during the summer events. 
  4. Your car will need to be teched before you run.  Please remove EVRYTHING not bolted down in your car, remove the wheel covers/locks and valve caps
