One of the local South Florida groups just hosted a night event and it was a pretty unique experience. All the groups got 3 runs in the daylight and 3 in the evening. Event ran from 4pm-12:30am with around 105 cars.

Here's a video, enjoy!

Thanks for sharing the video!The Las Vegas Region runs the whole summer series at night and it's definitely a unique experience. Here's one of LVRSCCA and forum member Robert Strohmeyer's recent runs.

Interesting. Are the times on the night runs usually slower than the day runs due to less visibility?

My family has a place in Juno Beach. Maybe I should use some vacation and come run one of these!

Visibility wasn't a big deal. You have the daytime to memorize the track. My last run was my best. At 11pm-ish, lol. There were some fully prepped cars with no headlights though, they were getting off courses left and right lol.

That's really cool I'd love to try that.

At first I was surprised the track temp dropping didn't affect times more, but then I saw Florida.
