I'll try to check with Gainesville on availability tomorrow. I can't remember how much it was for a weekend day except that it is twice as much as during the week. Gainesville also requires that you hire EMTs for any event.
I think we would also do better if it were a little cooler before using that track.
We might also reconsider St Augustine again but run it backwards (finishing with a straight). For OOH YEAH, that means running it in reverse - as in gear.

I have a feeling the backwards EMTS on OOH YEAHs car had to effect him. I would love to do either track again, but if it's TWICE as much on a weekend, would anybody consider running on like a friday?

He did make a big splash impression on everyone, but had to mow the grass stuck on his car later.
Some pics:
While OOH YEAH performs tech inspections we parked my daughter's Celica in front of his car (far right) and cranked up her "boom box" stereo to loosen parts on his car.

It was a GREAT day out there, with plenty of laps and good times with everyone there.

.Hey Stu. You were missed. Everyone wanted to just see Stuzvette because John and I had talked about it so much.
You missed OOH YEAH washing his car in a pond, too.

If i had know there was water on the course I probably wouldnt have run...
...but it sure would have been worth the trip to see John doing the backstroke around the course...

Both sides of the track there was mud/water standing just inches away from the pavement, I brushed the edge twice, both times kicking up quite a bit of mud... It was still a great learning experience!

Thank you for putting on a great event Jim. It's been about 22 years since I've participated in an autocross and this was a great one to get back into it with. I'll be working at getting my braking and overheating problems resolved by the next one. And then we'll see what that old beat up '92 can do with 110k miles on it! It sounds like Gainsville would be a great "next one".
Please keep me posted on future events.

Well, the idea was to stay out of the water. Some did, some didn't.
But you're right - a swamp wash is not a good thing right before a show.

Thanks for coming Ed. You proved (once again) it's the driver not the car. Anybody who loses coolant and has to keep adding brake fluid in between laps and still did the job you did has to be good.
Next time we'll have an intake manifold fish fry.
