Post 2003 DE's at South Florida?

I know Goldcoast region's events but since I'm not able to make Jan. 4th-5th DE at Moroso & next one isn't until April, I need to find other events! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

Does anyone have any other clubs' or tracks' schedules?

Thanks!

You could always check with <a href="http://www.chinmotorsports.com/" target="_blank">Chin Motorsports</a>. SunCoast region PCA is doing a DE with their club race at Sebring in February. You can find that info <a href="http://www.48-hours-at-sebring.com" target="_blank">here</a>.

Try PBOCflorida.com.

There's a 2 day event this weekend at Homestead, and Winterfest at Sebring middle of jan 2003 for 4 days (if you're solo/instructor, if not it's only a 2 day event)

I drive with both, instruct with PBOC and going through the PCA instructor training jan 4th at Moroso, and like PCA, but usually like PBOC a little better since all of their events are at least 2 day events. With PCA there are too many 1 day events, and I just don't get my kicks from just one day

Thanks Eric,

That winterfest sounds fantastic!

Are Corvettes also allowed?

My friend has Z06 & he might be interested...

Finn,

I could have sworn I told you about <a href="http://www.safemotorsports.com/CoverLetter.asp" target="_blank">Safe Motorsports</a> in the past. They are an advanced only lapping only (no instruction) club that runs all the South Florida tracks. Tell Steve I said hi - its been about 5 years.

Yes,

Corvettes are allowed, in DE (including solo/instructor)I've seen mostly BMW's and Porsches, but also corvettes, Audies, Mini's and even an ocational Mustang (overheats..) Camaro, Honda Civic, Subaru WRX.

Winterfest is great, after 4 days, you just can't take anymore, and even the drive home is a chore at that point. Just the kind of track time I'm looking for :-)))

Thanks E.J.

It's all coming back now (same day, all winters & summers, here is the result)...

Lots of choices, so it looks like me & my 993 don't have to wait until april to be able to 'stretch legs'!

You may want to check out Equipe Rapide's Schedule for it's Speed Trials that they run at Metro Zoo. Usually once every month on a Sunday. Should start February. Sort of a short road course, but lots of fun and good practice.

944togo,

I've been with them couple of times & propably will do when they have their next event.

That speedtrial isn't as much fun as DE's but sure beats AutoX!
