Default 944 guys in Pensacola/Mobile area?

Somewhat new to the area and thought I'd see what the deal is around here as far as Rennlisters/Porsches go. I emailed the local PCA chapter and asked about autoxs. He told me the hurricane blew away their last spot...?? Trying to figure out how a hurricane blows away a parking lot. And even if it did, that was 2 years ago.

Matt,
Pensacola is my hometown. Haven't been there in four years, since I've been out here in Hawaii. How long are you going to be there? I may be out there the first half of October, all depends on the training schedule. Enjoy it,

yea our track got filled up with hurricane debris after hurricane ivan, but the good news is we had an autocross saturday at the pensacola fairgrounds. This supposed to become a monthly thing and it was only 8 bucks to run. 1 practice and 3 time runs. It was about 74 second track.

WHAT THE HECK?? It wasn't on the schedule and I asked the track guy to email me when they decided to do another autox/find another location. I would have been out there without question!!!! GRRR....

White944, I'll be here for the next 18 months probably. I'm just up Blue Angel so anyone who comes in to town we should all get together.
