FAST Autocross - Oct 6

Dunnellon - Marion County Airport

About this event

Back to the Big D! If you've not been to the Dunnellon Airport, you might not understand the appeal. But, it's a lot of fun! It's an airstrip with a nice piece of fresh access road on the side. The surfaces (there are three of them) are very different from Brooksville. A new set of challenges! And if you're coming from the Tampa area, it's only 60-90 minutes for most people, not that much further than Brooksville. If you happen to be local to Dunnellon, Ocala, Gainesville or the surrounding area, it's even closer. Spread the word, get your friends to register!

NEW PROCEDURES: Starting with this event, we will have an escort to cross the active runway. You WILL NOT be able to come and go as you please, even at the end of the event. We must wait for the truck with the flashing lights and radio to escort us safely across that runway! 

NEW CHAMPIONSHIP: We're doing a Dunnellon Championship this season! Our season runs from Sept-July, and we have four Dunnellon events scheduled. Those 4 events will be scored as a championship. Because Dunnellon events are smaller, we're combining classes to get better class size. You can read more about it on our Season Championship page.

DIRECTIONS TO SITE: Turn North off of CR-484 onto SW 147th Ct. take it all the way back (1 mile) and follow it around the curves to the left. Gather and wait at the stop sign. We must enter as a group, so be on-time and be patient.

You'll notice that we're not calling this event a "FAST Classic", and it's definitely not a "FAST Open" (it's not part of our Championship series). So, what kind of event is it? Well, it's "just an autocross"! It's open to all licensed drivers. No experience required. It will operate much like a FAST Classic, but instructors will be available as-needed.

Driver Registration - $49.99
Guest Registration - $7.99

NOTE: We allow late registration subject to a late fee. Registration for every event will officially close at 11:59pm on the Monday prior to the event. After that, if registration is not full, it may be re-opened until 8pm Wednesday. Driver entries accepted after Monday will be subject to a $20 Procrastination Fee! Don't want to pay extra? Don't procrastinate!

Event requirements

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS INFO!

Pre-Registration

  • Pre-Registration with payment is required for all drivers. No walk-ups!
  • Entry fee includes cold beverages and driver's lunch. 
  • Guests must register separately for this event, which also includes lunch.
  • Please familiarize yourself with our Refund and Cancel Policy. There are no refunds and event credit is only given in certain circumstances. It is best to only register if you are reasonably certain that you can attend.

Site-Specific Info

  • We only man the gate during the specified time for check-in, and we must enter as a group, so plan on being there on time! If you are late, you will not get in!
  • We must limit guests to 15 total, so only one guest per driver, and once we reach 15, we can accept no more. 
  • IMPORTANT: Guests at our Dunnellon events must REGISTER SEPARATELY.
  • We cannot add drivers or guests after online registration is closed.
  • If a name is not on the entry list as either a driver or a guest, we cannot let them in the gate!

Driver, Guest and Passenger Requirements

  • No children (under 16) and no pets allowed on site. Sorry, our events are inherently dangerous and are not insured as "spectator events".
  • Drivers under age 18 must be fully licensed (no permits) and have a parent or guardian to sign the insurance waiver allowing them to participate.
  • All participants must show their valid driver's license and sign an insurance liability waiver at check-in. No exceptions! This waiver effectively says that you are responsible for damage to your own vehicle, property and person. Autocross is among the safest motorsports you'll find, and FAST does everything possible to ensure a safe event. You compete/attend/participate at your own risk. But, you really should read that waiver and fully understand it before you sign it!
  • Passengers must meet the same license requirements as drivers and are only permitted in a car if the driver or passenger qualifies as an instructor.
  • Drivers and passengers must wear a DOT approved helmet. We have loaner helmets available at no charge.
  • Shorts and T-shirt or other comfortable attire suitable for the weather are appropriate.
  • Closed toed shoes are required!

Safety, Vehicle Requirements & Classing

  • Safety is the most important aspect of what we do. Please take a moment to read our Safety Rules.
  • Each competition vehicle must pass a safety inspection. You can pre-check your car against our Safety Inspection Checklist.
  • To classify your car and familiarize yourself with the FAST preparation rules, begin with our Classing Overview page.

Work Assignments

  • Each registered driver must work at least one session. (volunteers are welcome throughout the day!)
  • Special work assignments are first-come, first served and based on experience and our needs. Your requested assignment is not guaranteed. Most entrants will be required to work course.
  • If you have physical limitations, be sure to request a work assignment that is within your abilities AND state your limitations in your profile. 
  • NOTE: Certain information that does not often change is stored in your user account profile so that you don't have to enter it each time you register. This includes work assignment preferences and disability info. You can view or edit that information at any time by going to My Account > Edit My Information > Edit Clubs > Edit (on the FAST organization).
