I can't make it to the next one. So, I will theoretically drive every single version of this track this year EXCEPT the "normal" version.
I already did the short and short with shoe box.

When the Florida International Rally & Motorsport Park kicked off its 2025 Track Attack time trial series in February on the truncated short course, competitors wondered aloud whether the next event in the series would return to the full, traditional FIRM format.
Now we know that not only will the next event in the series use the full circuit, but that each subsequent event in the series will also take place on a unique track configuration.

The April 27 Track Attack event will use the full course, but the July 13 event will flip directions, running the full course in reverse.
For the October 19 event, the “shoebox” section between Turns 8 and 9 will be opened up.
And for the final event of the series on December 7, the track will be run in reverse with the shoebox also in play. We should be in attendance and competing in most if not all of these events with magazine project cars like our BMW 435i and Ford Mustang GT as well.

I'm super excited about this plan. Some of these configurations have never been run before during public days, and most of them have never been used for any sort of competition. Just a really cool use of their resources and a way to create some drama and I'm all in. I think I may have one conflict for the October event but hopefully it works out.

Damn you guys.................I'm 2500 miles away.

I mean, if you start driving now... haha.
If you autocross there regularly, you'll be very familiar with running the short course in both directions.
I am hoping to be able to compete in at least one of the last two events, in the 19 lbs per HP class.

It is only a 32hr tow from my house and I could leave the van and trailer at my Aunt's between rounds. LOL
It'd be interesting to compare the fastest laps from each setup–like, could running the course in reverse be faster?
