Default SW Florida autocross invite.

I am a member of Gulf Coast Autocrossers, (GCAC) and I want to let everyone know about our venue.

We hold events the first weekend of every month at the buckingham air field, near Fort Myers Fl. (Very fast, open, site.)

Saturdays, we have two courses; Test & tune / Novice school.
Sundays, we have a mile long (+/-) course!

Our next event will be 3/8 and 3/9.

Here's our website;
Home of the Gulf Coast Autocrossers

and a couple vids of the site,

From outside the car;


and from inside;


If there are any questions, feel free to ask.

We have a lot of people come over from the other coast. Some come from north of Tampa. (Same coast, but a good drive in its own right.)

It's a nice venue.

I have been to a few events with GCAC and the site the autocross takes place is one of the best i have been to. I have been doing this for over 18 years and it is good to know a nice club exists right in my backyard.

Thanks for the info...pretty interesting track set up in the videos.

I have an 66 mustang and am pretty experienced in "spirited" road driving and some mustang club events but never for competition. I could use some advise on good street/race tires...? Any ideas?

Thank for the website link...

Yokohama Advan Neova AD07 (Never driven these, but many swear by them and I have witnessed great times from good drivers in cars with these tires. They cost a lot of $$$ though)

Bridgestone RE-01 (These stick like glue and wear well also. The sidewall in these feels just right.)

BFG KD If you can still find any (And I'm not talking about the the KDW's) (These -the KD's- are on my Z now. They stick very well and have a perfect sidewall, but they aren't going to hold up as well as the MX's or RE-01's)

Falken Azenis RT 615 (Stiff sidewalls make for razor-sharp reflexes, but they don't grip quite as well as those above. Wear is OK, but they don't like too much heat. They get a little "greasy" after a lot of hard driving. On the pluse side, they start out with great grip "cold". Almost on par with the cold grip of those above. because ofthis they work well for quick runs, such as those found in autocrossing. YOu can also find these at much lower prices compared to those above)

Hankook hankook Ventus RS2 (Good grip, good heat tolerance, sidewall just a little soft, good wear, good price)

Kumho ESCTA MX (Great grip, once you heat them up, soft sidewall means you have to run them with rather high tire presures, good wear, good prices)

And I can't wait to try a set of these, when the come out in a few months;

Kumho ESCTA SX

Been to GCAC many times and I live in Miami. It is a 2.5 hr drive. This is the best Auto X venue in Florida IMO. All concrete, long and fast courses set up by a Ford Fanatic.
