PCA Autocross 6/13/2004

You know I did enjoy this event! The Porsche guys put on a really nice event! I’m still shocked and appalled by the course design, holly crap they were sure fond of tight 180-degree corners! :shock:

I suck at names but I was nice talking with several of the folks who stopped by for visit like JohnSilverNB, and the nice folks from Hurst who just got their white NB!

It was also nice meeting Vallhala & son of Vallhala. Kinda felt badly for son of Vallhala he must have had a really bad instructor, because he didn’t run the afternoon session! :wink:

I still think the top up rule sucks for an autocross at Pennington, but seeing the Boxsters go by with there tops up also made me fell a little better! :roll:

Nice article Tailchaser! I had a great time Sunday too. It was great to meet you guys finally! Son of Valhalla really enjoyed his first autocross and he had a great first-time instructor :D

Good article TC, and driving too, :chug:. It was fun competition.

FYI, that course layout was A-typical for the PCA events. While there are usually some tight areas, this layout was an excersize in patience and throttle control- which I did not master. for those that did not attend, a good pic of my car indicating the degree of turning is found in TC's article mentioned above....multiply that by 6 or 7 turns :shock:. There was a lot of work being done inside the cockpits that day.

No doubt... I feel like I spent all day yesterday swimming instead of driving...

Also, I forgot to mention...The PCA Mav Region did a great job turning the typical 30 second Pennington course layout into a solid 60 seconds.


Next, the suttle 'slap in the face' to POS with the dino reference was fun too....see article.

Wow... there are even a BUNCH of photos
