Whoa, look out! We've got a NEW LOCATION for this event. We've been here before, but it's been 10+ years.
This place is known by several names, and I think I've figured it out. The "complex" (which includes the stadium and other supporting and surrounding facilities) is called Tigertown (for the Lakeland Flying Tigers baseball team). The "stadium" is Joker Marchant stadium. The "field" (within the stadium) is Publix Field. We're just going to call it Marchant Stadium because it sounds less nerdy, and isn't likely to change!
The Marchant Stadium parking lot that we're using is roughly 400x700 feet of smooth asphalt. If you've run with us at Tampa Bay Downs or St. Pete College, it should be a lot like that. Look at the course map for parking areas. The stadium is situated on yet another WWII airfield! This one is mostly unrecognizable as such, but those hangars next to the parking lot? Yep, they've been there for 75 years!
This will be event #10 of the 12 events in the 2019 FAST Championship. Some of us will be scrambling for season points at this event, for sure. But, that's not something you need to be concerned with. Just come have some fun!
This will be a Split Event. There will be an early session and a late session, each run independently. All drivers will run on the same course, and the two "separate events" will be combined for final scoring. Carefully select your option on the registration form to be sure you are signing up for the correct session.

SPECIAL PROCEDURES:
|
DIRECTIONS TO SITE: Turn East off of SR-33/Lakeland Hills Blvd at the traffic light at Bella Vista St, then left onto Gilmore Ave.
IMPORTANT:
- While the parking lot here is not a secure facility, we still require all drivers to be pre-registered.
- Guests aren't required to pre-register unless they wish to partake of our refreshments.
- We must maintain perimeter control of the site, so all Guests must sign-in to enter.
- We're likely to pick up some extra entries from the Orlando area and points further East, so this event will likely sell out. Don't wait until the last minute (or hour, or day) to register!
- Look at the SCHEDULE below for Check-in times. Don't be late!
- If you arrive early for the Late Session, park in Guest parking while you wait. Parking is limited.
- Note that "Lunch" is not on the schedule. Only those who are double-registered (both sessions as either a driver or a guest) will be served lunch.
- CLICK "CONTINUE" BELOW AND READ THE SECOND PAGE OF EVENT INFO!
ENTRY REQUIREMENT: The only entry requirement is that you have a valid driver's license and a safe car. First-timers and novices are welcome!
Driver Registration - $40.00
Guest Registration - $9.00
NOTE: Registration for every event will officially close at 11:59pm on the Wednesday prior to the event. After that, if registration is not full, it may be re-opened until 8pm Thursday. Driver entries accepted after Wednesday will be subject to a $20 Procrastination Fee! Don't want to pay extra? Don't procrastinate! Of course, the biggest procrastination penalty of all is simply not being able to get into a sold out event... so, register early!
