Palm Bay is a Success Of course, from the amount of recent participation you probably all know that by now. I will miss another Palm Bay event but if this weeks is anything like the last one then I'm thinking no one else will. One Hundred and Eleven entries, Wow!

We're Back! Sorry for the inconvenience. It looks like we have been doing better than we have done in the past exceeding our alotted bandwidth for the month. The good thing is knowing the site is doing it's job for the racing community, here in Central Florida, by providing what it does for us all. On the other hand we don't want this to ever happen again so we are taking the necessary steps to safeguard ourselves. Unfortunately that may mean some more growing pains. Stay tuned and again sorry for any problems this may have caused.

Reminder This is just a little reminder to all the drivers out there, CFR Region Solo II requires all drivers to work. If you run you must work. I'm sure everyone remembers the penalty if you don't, it is mentioned in most drivers meetings. Just in case you don't know, the penalty is expulsion from any further events and loss of points status. This is almost never a problem, CFR has some of the best folks around so keep up the good work.
|
| 04/27/07 |
Attention! Sebring not just an East Coast Event The event on Sunday June 3rd has just been opened up to both coasts. Points will now be awarded for both East and West coasts. Please disregard the schedule indicating East coast only.
|
| 04/18/07 |
At the 4/22 event in Deland we will have the opportunity to donate to the
Breast Cancer 3-Day and help a fellow CFR member reach their fundraising goal.
At the event, drivers can pledge money for each cone hit or bring dollars for
fun runs! Interested participants will find information the morning of the event
at the registration table. All particpants in the cone hit pledge will be eligible
for a drawing of prizes that will take place during the trophy presentation. See this link for more information on
The Breast Cancer 3-DAY and Kim's Efforts.

New Look We have been talking about it for a while, now it is finally here. The site has been modified to remember you, if you login. This solution is accomplished using cookies so you should have them turned on. Register yourself now while all the good usernames are still available. Login before you register for an event and all of your personal info will be populated into the entry form. As in the past, your personal information is only used for registration purposes.

Gainesville Event Info The Gainesville event on Feb 11 is a regular solo2 event on the test track (i.e. cones). Cost is $35 for non-members and $25 for SCCA members. Please have your driver's license and SCCA membership card at registration. Registration will be between 8am-9am. Lunch will not be available at the event so it would be a good idea to bring food since the off-site venues are rather far away.
|
| 01/02/07 |
FYI, for Deland 1/21/07 The Museum will not be able to furnish FOOD for the 1/21/07 Deland event. They are having some logistics problems that will be worked out in time, so bring a lunch as offsite forays for food do take a while.

New Items for 2007, Updated New schedule, Trophy rules. New Brooksville registration requirements, Registration reminder for Drivers Licenses and SCCA Membership Cards. Helmet requirements have NOT changed as previously reported. There are new requirements for Junior Kart safety stewards and we are trying to get the paperwork done in time, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen so no junior karters are allowed for the January 7,8 event at Brooksville. Regular adult karts are ok for the first Brooksville event. See below for more details.

Brooksville afternoon results What's the big idea! I didn't have any more room on the results page so here you go: Final and Pax.

|
| 10/09/06 |
Reminder, Sebring is close at hand It is another double points event, similar to the one we had in early June at Sebring. The dates are October 21st and 22nd.
|
| 09/01/06 |
Important facts concerning Brooksville registration There is a deadline for all Brooksville event registration. It is at midnight on the Thursday, one week prior to the event. For example: If the event date is July 15th and 16th, then registration will close at midnight on July 6th. Also, anyone, drivers and non-drivers, must be on the list to enter, no exceptions. Once a name is on the list, it will remain there for the rest of the season, no need to register again. We will try to post a list so that there is no confusion. As you may have noticed, the registration process has changed. Just select the radio button for the event you want to register for and select Register. If the event has past or registration has closed then the radio button will disappear. I'm working on a system that will remember you so that you will not have to re-input the same information everytime but that is a little down the road still.

September Brooksville event and Ernesto! The event this weekend may be effected by hurricane Ernesto, 09/01/06 Sorry about the late notice, The event is a GOOOOO. See you there.
|
| 08/18/06 |
Brooksville event date change! The event is on September 2nd and 3rd. I will post a new flyer when I get it.

Another 2 Day Sebring Event! More good news. The word is out, it's definite. We will be having another 2 day, double points event, similar to the one we had in early June at Sebring. The dates are October 21st and 22nd. The entries will be posted to the calendar soon, with registration links. Make your hotel reservations now. BTW, I just made mine at the Chateau Elan and it seems like the SCCA rate has gone up to $99.00. If anyone hears anything different let me know.
|
| 06/11/06 |
Good News! Thanks to the hard work of Jerry Stein and all who took the time to fill out the survey the site at Valkaria will be considered. I will keep you all posted if I hear anything.
|
| 06/06/06 |
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. It looks like we have lost our site at IRCC. I got the word today. The noise level has upset the local residents and they have complained to the college. Our last event to be held there will be this weekend. If you liked the site and have any connections then by all means find out if there is anything we could do.
|
| 06/05/06 |
Heads Up! Online registration is moving soon to the schedule page. |
| 06/05/06 |
 <-- Moved to the schedule pageAre you tired of those long lines at Registration! We are too, the longer it takes to register the less we all get to race. We are currently working on an automated system that should make things a lot faster. Our full blown system is not quite ready for production yet. So to get us all ready for that day we are implementing a simple form that we hope all drivers will use to let us know who is coming before race day. This will allow the folks in registration to enter a lot of info before you get to the event. The events list includes the entire race calendar. Until further notice I think we will just be trying this with East Coast events. Once we get the bugs worked out things should change. There is no obligation to come to the event after you pre-registered, but obviously it could waste a lot of peoples time if a lot of people pre-register and don't show up. This will save a lot of time with first timers since they have no information in the computer yet. Use the button above this text to Pre-Register today. Click here to see who is already registered |
| 06/01/06 |
NEW SITE? Only if you help. Read this and send in the survey today. Are you a Brevard County resident that would like to see autocrossing come back to the Melbourne/Palm Bay area? Does this course look like fun to you? Thanks for helping, no more surveys please, the wheels are in motion(6/11/06)!
|
| 04/15/06 | Sebring Dates Notice The Sebring dates and Flyer has been posted. The weekend will offer opportunities for two East coast point events and two West coast points events. |

re-scheduled for the 26th of March, a Sunday. This is a one day points

Solo 2 Rules
Don't let this happen to you. What a great weekend for an Autocross. Oh, but I have no class identifiers for my car. Ah, who cares, those guys in timing are so good, they'll know who I am. Later that day, You: Waahh, this is my third run, not my fourth run. Starter: Sorry, the timing folks say it's your fourth run. Read the Vehicle Identification rules here. |
| 02/02/06 |
SOLO TRIALS GAINESVILLE MARCH 4 AND 5
Just want to remind anyone who is going to the Solo Trials on March 4 and 5 at
Gainesville and staying at
the Best Western Gateway that reservations need to be made by February 3. On this date the
block will be removed. Also, February 27 is the deadline for registration. You must mail in

Solo 2 event. Please do not just show up at the event and expect to be able to
participate. |

Gainesville Update
The surface is not "Better" than the track. Sorry for the misinformation. It does however allow for a LOT more
creativity. Stay in touch we'll try to get a course map. |
| 01/12/06 |
Notice
The Gainesville event on Feb 5th will be held in the parking lot, NOT the track. Sources involved say that the parking lot surface is even better than the track. FYI The Solo Trials on the 4th and 5th of March is a TWO day event. You need only fill out one form. I wanted to straighten that out for you as we have been getting a few questions on the subject. |
| 12/22/05 | As you can see we have a little different look for the upcoming year. Stay tuned for even more enhancements. |
| 11/16/05 |
We would like to congratulate each and every one of our East and West Coast Champions on their great
performances this year. So that there are no questions later on, anyone in first, second or third
place in their class or in the pax time results will be getting a trophy. We hope to see you at the
annual banquet to pick up your trophies. Also, as Garry and I step down as Solo Chairmen this year, we want to thank each and everyone of you who helped make the Solo Program what it is today. We have enjoyed the friendships that we have made and the time spent racing. Please continue to help Tim and Dat as they take over. We are proud of the CFR Solo Program and know that we will continue to feel that way! See you in the future. |
| 10/18/05 |

Bill DiSorbo My father passed away last night after fighting that uphill battle with cancer. We want to thank you and the rest of the CFR SCCA community for everything the last few months. The visits the last two weeks brightened his day where it was difficult for him to find energy. All the cards and calls showed the support and compassion that only a tight group of friends could give. And the thoughts and prayers, I would like to think, were well received. Finally, the plaque that you presented him was incredible and will be cherished in one of six living rooms across the country. It would be nice for us, his family, if you could remember Bill for his humorous demeanor, his passion for racing, and his generosity (what other M-Coupe had been driven by half of Florida?). I’m sure that would mean a lot to him as well. We will be holding a memorial service Thursday. I will send out the information after we make the arrangements. Thanks again! Dave "It wouldn't be an autocross race without a hug from Bill DiSorbo." |

Brookesville Events This is a reminder to everyone. If you are going to attend the events at Brooksville, you MUST be preregistered at MyAutoEvents.com. You must preregister by the Saturday before the event or the date listed at MyAutoEvents.com. It is the airport's rule, (due to 9-11) not ours, that you must be on the list in order to enter the track. No exceptions can be made. We would recommend that you preregister even if there is just the slightest chance that you may be going. If you don't show up, there is no harm done. If you show up and have not signed up, you will be turned away. |
| 08/10/05 |
YEAR END TROPHIES In order to qualify for a year end trophy, the following number of races must be met. For the West Coast, you will need 4 events. Only the top 4 races will be counted for each driver. These include the events at Brooksville and Gainesville. For the East Coast, you will need 8 events. These include the events at DeLand and Ft. Pierce (IRCC). If any races have to be cancelled in Aug, Sept or Oct, these numbers would be reconsidered. We would like to see everyone at the year end banquet in Cocoa Beach. You do not have to get a trophy to attend. It is a lot of fun to get together and talk with everyone.
SOLO CHAIRMAN AND OTHER CHIEFS |
| 07/24/05 | HELP WANTED! Click here for details |
| 07/16/05 | Some of you may be sad to hear the following news and some of you may celebrate. Garry and I have decided that at the annual meeting in December we will be stepping down as Solo Chairmen. It is time for us to return to doing other things that we enjoy, such as traveling (you never should have let us go to the Grand Canyon!) and also time for the Solo program to have new blood running it. We want to thank everyone who has helped make the Solo program the success that it is – we COULD NOT have done it without each and every one of you. We are sure that the program will continue to be a success. At this time, we have someone in mind to take our places. We already have East and West Coast Coordinators and great core groups. What we need most is someone to drive the East Coast Truck to the events and a trophy Chairman (this is needed for both coasts). Please contact us if you are interested. If you have been saying to yourself "Gee, I really need to help out more", this is your opportunity. |

Not only does it have water on it, but other spots have become a mud bog that only trucks would be able to get down. Sorry to have to do this, but we will try to run there in August barring any more rain. |
| 07/06/05 |
ATTENTION: DeLand event on July 17, 2005 Please watch the website for any changes to the DeLand event on July 17, 2005.

We will keep you informed as we get updated info, but if they keep getting rain, we may not be able to get in. You may call us next week, Friday or Saturday at 321-258-8182 to check on the status of the event and we will post it here if it has to be cancelled. |

ATTENTION: SEBRING SOLO II EVENT CANCELLED!!!!!! Due to circumstances beyond the club's control, we have to cancel the Solo II Event at Sebring on June 4 & 5, 2005.

If you have made hotel reservations, please remember that some hotels require 72 hours cancellation notice. Sorry for the short notice, but we were just made aware of this situation. |

The site is an unused runway that has grass growing between the slabs of pavement that needs to be killed and/or removed before anything else can be done. Though this is extremely short notice, this is to be done this Sat., the 8th of May. We must enter the site as one group, since the gate can only be opened once. With that in mind everyone will need to be there at the same time. A time has not been set so that we can select one that will work for those who volunteer (expect a time before noon). Also, directions will be sent to those who email me. Please contact Albert Popalis via this email. |
