The next even is the Florida State Championships it is going to be held 12th T&T and 13th Competition day. If you want to go you need to register before 1st November, you will get a T-shirt and a chance at a trophy. You can still attend if you do not register in time but you will not get a T-shirt and if you are not in an existing class you can not win a trophy.
Cost is $20 on Saturday for Test and Tune (not compulsory)
$50 on Sunday for race day food provided both days and trophies for each class.

Would be great to see a few more Rx8 there there were 2 regulars (the other car was written off this month) and then about half a dozen other Rx8's that come from time to time. There should be about 100 cars turn up so it will be a great day out.
