Are you NorCal guys up for one more event? November 19th the Porsche Club of America and Trackmasters Racing will hold their annual charity event. This is both a track day and an autocross. On the track, you can tear it up with your appropriate run group depending on your experience level. In the paddock, we will be autocrossing. Past courses here have been legendary! This one should be the same.
Registration can be found here! http://svr-autocross.deter.com/register/ Attached image(s) |

It certainly is a lot that you can do a lot with. I agree completely on that first section. It was just annoying. Bob just sent out an email saying that the course was finished at 5:30pm the night before. Unfortunately, sundown was 5:00pm. He describes the finish of the course as "braille and headlights". I could tell for sure. That first section was unnecessary given the character of the rest of the course. The slalom forced you to go left first. If I had a choice, I would have gone right. It would have 'flowed' better and I can always get a 914 positioned for that decreasing radius turn that switches back at the end of the slalom.
The end of the course forces you to give up time and begin braking before the lights. If you don't, you have to do as the Stalker and Bugeye did over and over - go through the light full tilt and lock them up, then put it in reverse and back up to keep from hitting cones as you exit the course. If he had backed the finish light up around that last corner, he wouldn't have people having to lock up and flat spot tires to get good times. I was 9th fastest. I got beat by five Porsches four of them, I regularly beat, so I have a learning curve with the new engine for sure. Mark was a very respectable 12th and has a very bright future amongst the cones... The other three cars ahead of my time were pure race vehicles with race tires. |
