For all the 928 guys--- Last summer while on holidays I went to an Auto-X hosted by the Vancouver Island PCA club. There was a absolutely mint 928 that really stood out from the crowd of 911's. When I took a look at it it had all this weird stuff bolted to the steering column. The owner is paraplegic and in a wheel chair. When I saw how smooth and fast he drove the course I was blown away. I can't imagine co-ordinating brakes and accelerator with hand controls while tearing through a tight AX course. Most impressive driving I've ever seen.

Mike Bullis runs SCCA Solo Events with a C4 Vette with a similar set-up. Uses a wheelchair to go through the course walks. Very fast guy, regardless of challenges or conditions.

Greetings,
I thought I would post some video of my first two autocross events. I had never done this before and really enjoyed the experience. You even get to see me wipe out on the first autocross event. The two autocross events were held at the same place – the Phoenix Municipal Stadium located in Phoenix, Arizona. We started at 7am in the morning and finished around 4 or 5pm. The first event was held on Saturday, January 21, 2006 and the second was on Saturday, April 9, 2006. I hope you enjoy!

Since some guys are posting. This is from the last PCA Potomac autocross of last year and the last run I took in my Boxster before replacing with my 996.

jsaindc,
Very nice video from the PCA Potomac autocross. It looked like that was a challenging course. I was curious if anyone has collected any of the different autocross course maps? It would be neat to put the different course maps onto a website for other PCA or SCCA groups to reference.
