Default Brooksville Fl, Autocross This Weekend 4/29/17

Anyone attending this weekends autocross hosted by Florida Corvette Racing in Brooksville? I have not attended one of these events yet and am interested in how the event is going to be. I have been to 3 (Fast AX's) in Brooksville but they were only 4 or 5 runs at each. Looking forward to being able to get some more seat time in. Also, can changing air pressures help with understeer? The car is stock suspension.

I've done a couple of their autoX and you get ALOT of runs ! and yes, tire pressure can help with over/understeer, but as they say " its the "nut behind the wheel "that needs to be tightened to really changes. which seat time is your friend

Thats good to hear and Itry to manage my entry speeds but the understeer just seems excessive sometimes. Do you run more or less air pressure to counter understeer?

hard to say, it's going to be pretty hot this weekend which would make me think that the temp of the tarmac itself will have an impact on handling . I'm sure that besides the people that put the event alot of the drivers could be a huge help. have fun
