    I think I'm going to go, too... now that I know the IRL race is Saturday night.

    Here's a link to the Maverick PCA's online Events page. Porsche Club autocrosses are probably most like NTS2kOC autocrosses - typically 8 runs, four in the morning and four in the afternoon, with morning and afternoon sessions separated by a lunch break. Runs are done in the same manner, with "hot" groups of 6-8 cars doing all of their runs for that heat before the next group of cars is brought up. The courses are fun, the people are great, and it's local (Pennington). The only downside is that you will have to run top-up if you don't have a roll bar.

    Any other non-Divisional peeps interested?

    Maybe this event will be a smaller one- with many others attending the SCCA event.

    I plan to be there, but probably just to watch and meet people. Short on $ this week, so I probably wont be driving.

    How much is this event going to cost? I need to break into my :pig: bank.

    JohnSilverNB come on and play! Watching autocross is like watching paint dry without the fumes! It's a lot more fun to participate!

    FWIW, JRW told me he thought it was $25-$30.

    I think the PCA autocrosses are $25 for non-members.

    Looks like I'm not going to make it tomorrow, so you boys have fun out there. This damned furniture refinishing project my wife decided to start this weekend is definitely going to consume most of tomorrow, just like it consumed most of today.

    Well I woke up about a half-hour too late... and during my rush to get out of the house and feeding the animals the damned gerbil got loose. It took me all morning to fish that little animal out of the guest bedroom. Luckily the cats didnt see him otherwise I'd have a real mess on my hands. I hope you fellas had a good time!

    Sounds like the kitties don't like fast food...

    You missed a great learning experience. I now consider myself to be a U-turn expert.

    That it was! It was the most 'unique' course I've run on in my short career! Congrats to tailchaser for best time amongst us Miatae pilots!
