FAST Gymkhana - SUNDAY - Mar 3

Brooksville-Tampa Bay Reg Airpt

About this event

This is a SUNDAY event.

NOTICE: This is NOT a normal autocross.It is a Gymkhana. That means that compared to a typical autocross, the course could be tighter, slower, backwards in places, and downright weird! If you're not prepared for the challenge of getting out of your comfort zone and doing something different and FUN, just for the sheer entertainment value of it, then this might not be the event for you. If you know how to have fun, go ahead and register, fam! We'll all have a good time being goofy.

What's a Gymkhana?

Gymkhana is the major root of the sport we now call Autocross. Where autocross places emphasis on skillfully completing a well-defined forward-moving course in the shortest time, gymkhana puts more emphasis on a wider variety of driver skills, including precise stopping and backing maneuvers as well as a bit of memorization and navigation that are not used in autocross. Historically, gymkhana events have taken many forms, and some of them get downright silly… in a fun way. With our representation of a gymkhana, we have tried to keep the course fairly close to the autocrosses that we normally run with only a few added elements. So, autocrossers should feel comfortable with this course IF they read and follow all of the rules and instructions. Good luck, and enjoy the challenge!

Just to give you an idea of the kind of things you can expect, here's a video from our last Gymkhana:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6DEkxuUDHo

There are no special entry requirements for this event. If you're a first-timer and you feel lucky... well, you've probably got about as good a shot as anybody else! Just bear in mind that this is NOT a normal autocross, and does not in any way represent a typical FAST event.

Driver Registration - $50.00
Guest Registration - $9.00

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.

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 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).
