Default Southern Sprint - UPDATE: New event in it's place

Editing first post.

The original event was cancelled, in it's place is a 1 day event at the new 2 mile circuit at European Rally School in Starke (near g'ville and evil waldo). Solo drivers get 4 hours (first half of the day) for $150, which is a great deal. Students get 2 hours of track time in the first half (yes, that means shared with more advanced drivers, but limited #'s..) for $150. Instructors drive the other 2 hours for $25. The second half of the day is a 4 hour sprint modeled after the 24 hours of lemons race series.

My LeMons car won't be built by then most likely so that sucks for me, but a great deal for those interested in the track time. This isn't like the Gainesville test course, it's FIA width, etc. New course so new reviews that I know of yet though.

Also for the COs/mods, I am not involved in running this event, just trying to help some local guys get their events going. I know how it sucks to lose money on a track event so I'm trying to spread the word.

I would love to do it but the finances dont allow right now. If this is something that gets going I'll be in for next year. Good luck.

Talked to maggie about it last night.

I think we are going to skip the dragon in september and do this instead, it looks really fun. Anyone want to be a sponsor?

Unfortunately it may be canceled due to lack of interest There will be a smaller event to replace it though if it gets cancelled.

Keep me posted on this. Out for 2008 but this sounds like a great experience so I'd like to consider it for 2009. PM or call me if you find out more.

Thanks,
Shay
