FAST Duel - Feb 28

Brooksville-Tampa Bay Reg Airpt

About this event

FASTDuel 2015

What is the FAST Duel? It is a unique tournament-style autocross event where two drivers compete on the same course at the same time with NO CLOCKS. Each driver starts on their own starting line with their opponent on the opposite side of the course. First one back to their own start/finish line wins!

The Duel is one of the most FUN ways to autocross! You look across the course at the starting line and SEE your opponent. No clocks, no looking at time sheets and numbers. Just look over there, and there he is looking back at you. When you reach the half-way point, you can look across the course again... and there he is! Is he ahead? Is he behind? It's often hard to tell. Did he hit some cones or go off course somewhere? You just don't know! Come around to the finish... there he is again... and you can see... you might just finish first! Or... maybe it's obvious that you won't? But, you still keep hammering away because you don't know if your opponent coned out or not! You can still win... even if you don't cross the line first. Happens all the time!

You can't just win by getting the fastest run out of 3 or 4 or 6 runs. You have to be faster than your opponent on THAT run! That is the Duel.

THIS IS A RESTRICTED ENTRY EVENT

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, so plan on being there on time! If you are late, you might 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. (sorry, the airport limits us to 70 persons total)
  • IMPORTANT: Guests at our Brooksville 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 will work one session in the morning and one in the afternoon, and may be asked to also work during the final rounds.
  • 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).

  • Everything you need to know and more is on the FAST Website. Really! Go check it out!
