Penny Ante Racing

Penny Ante Racing

Our club holds one autocross each month. This event usually falls on the second sunday of the month, although site availability may occasionally cause this date to change. We also hold two "miniprix" each year. These are higher speed (and higher cost) events that are held on road courses or larger autocross sites than our normal location. We also hold a monthly club meeting where events and club business are discussed. This is a social affair with food, jokes, and plenty of "bench racing". It is held on the first Thursday of the month. I'll try to keep this page updated with information about the dates and locations for out autocrosses and meetings.

March Meeting
Our March Meeting will be at the same spot as last month; i.e. the room above Brix Bistro. Unfortunately, the Bistro is no longer located there, and won't be able to cater the event. It will be catered by club members. Check the autocross forum for menu and pricing of food. (You don't need to purchase food to attend.)

March Autocross
Our March 9 event will be held at the Lake County Training Center in Tavares. I believe this date will be March 10. Please check back for confirmation and further details.

April Meeting
The April meeting is tentatively planned for April 3. I'm not yet aware of the location.

April Miniprix
Our April Miniprix is tentatively planned for Sunday, April 13 on the road course at Gainesville's GIR (...home of drag racing's "gatornationals").

Quote: "They lie generally in the 60-80 bracket for comfortable road cars, 80-100 for firmer and more sporting machinery, 100-125 for non-ground-effect racers, and creep towards 175 in certain applications....as current F1 would appear to be operating at 200-500 CPM, the spine jarring ride is not too difficult to imagine." - Alan Staniforth discussing wheel frequencies, pg. 63 of Race and Rally Car Sourcebook
