Here are some things you need to know before the event:

Driving session at Brooksville, Sunday 8:00AM (RAIN OR SHINE!)
1. The schedule will be announced at Reeves.
2. Plan to arrive at the airport gate BY 8:00 A.M. The gate will open at approximately 7:45 A.M.
Directions to Brooksville: The Hernando County Airport is a 40 minute ride north (of central Tampa, Waters Ave & Veterans Expy) via the Suncoast Parkway to County Line Road exit 37, right turn, 1.3 miles to US41, left on 41, 2.2 miles north to Runway Drive on left…Next left after crossing the railroad tracks.
DO NOT use GPS or mapquest – you will be directed to the wrong gate!
Lunch (Pizza, salad, dessert) will be provided to all participants, instructors and workers Time and schedule does not allow you to leave the airport for lunch!
3. Bottled water will be available, but we strongly suggest that you bring additional drinks and snacks; it will be a long day.
4. Some chairs are provided for the participants at the midday class session. Please bring other (additional) folding chairs, umbrellas, etc.
5. After passing the entry gate, proceed to the welcome tent and – Tech.
All spectator vehicles will be guided to the parking area.
NOTE: After passing the entry gate all vehicles will be crossing the approach end of an active runway! Come to a complete stop at the stop sign and – LOOK UP, both ways, before proceeding. 25MPH please. Pass the parked RV’s at 15MPH.
6. Remove all loose items (i.e. not bolted or otherwise attached to the vehicle) from the car and trunk. Lock the glove box; if it’s not lockable, remove the items. Leave most of these items at home, if possible. If not, bring a small tarp to protect your belongings in case of rain.
7. Check oil level.
8. Increase tire pressure by about 5 psi above that required for normal street driving. For most vehicles, this would bring the pressure up to 30 to 35 psi. Check the tire sidewall for max psi; STAY 5 PSI UNDER THE MAX RECOMMENDED. The slight increased pressure will prevent excessive tire wear during the car exercises. Also, it’s easier to reduce pressure at tech than add it!
9. After passing tech and the low impact exercises, you will be directed to park your car in one of three lines to start the driving exercises. You will return your car to the same line for the lunch break.
Items 6, 7, & 8 will be checked at tech.
NOTE: The last section of concrete, adjacent to the grass, on both sides of the runway for its entire length, MUST remain clear of all vehicles, chairs, people, etc. This will serve as our access lane for the participants getting to and from the various exercises, and will operate in a clockwise direction around the runway. The participant vehicles will have the right of way at all times!
