We also have a track test shoot scheduled for that day of something that I think everyone will find VERY interesting. It should be fun to watch. I know I'm stoked about driving it :)

"So guys, what are you going to do after the $2000 Challenge?"

I don't know, maybe horse around at the FIRM.

Will you guys be testing that horse until it the sun goes down?  Like when it's dark?

We're not being nearly that clever. Don't hurt your brain.

Please come out and support the firm during their time of need!

The flight path of airplanes encroached on the track and they will need to redo parts of the track. 

I am still planning on attending the shortened track layout and would embrace a "gofundme" if necessary.

Absolutely going to be there. I've done every post-challenge track day and hundreds of autocross runs there. 


Nearly all of the autocross events were run on the one mile course that’s still open. 

I agree, it's crucial for the motorsports community to step up and support this important venue. Since 2018, we've lost access to multiple sites, many of them airports, including Brooksville, Deland, Dunellen, Amelia Island, St Marys, GA, South Georgia Motorsports Park, and more. 

You'll need to log in to post.
