I know I've got it bad. The car sits in the garage, the snow sits on the driveway, I sit on the web.

So, if you're as bored as I am and are in the mid-atlantic, why not get a jump on the crowd and register for CPA-PCA events in Hershey PA.

Central PA CPA Kickoff Autocross

Central PA CPA Swap Autocross

Central PA CPA Mother's Day Autocross

Central PA CPA May Autocross

Central PA CPA Summer Autocross

Central PA CPA Porsche-Corvette Challenge

Central PA CPA Halloween Autocross

 

Yes, cabin fever has hit and I miss driving my 944. But teasing us with events months off? well, thats just mean

How about a "wintercross" series

 

30 events lined up. So far.

 

We just had an autocross in Richmond last week! I've been go-karting in the off season as well. And there's always simulators like iracing

 

Here in San Diego we have already had our first AX event with over 100 drivers and the next one is 2-12.
Come on down for some fun.

I shouldn't rub in the weather in the 60's and 70's this weekend

I guess we have to wait until the big earthquake or tidal wave and Cali falls into the sea before we can rub it in

 

hey Scruffy! Someone should put together a combined calendar of the NER, NCR, BMW, and Renegade Miata events for Devens! once they are all official dates of course!

Car is going to Bill for a new clutch and IMS upgrade very very soon!

Take care
Carter

 

Yeah we have already had two in January and five in Febuary in Nor Cal. SFR SCCA Divisional at Great America 2/19 and 2/20.

Season never stops in Cali

 

I have one already made up but not complete yet. Still missing correct dates for BSCC and NE-SVT, dates I have so far overlap other clubs. SCCA has not posted dates yet either. TCUSA has their correct dates posted, so far. Some date trading between clubs happens I guess.

 

my car is at his shop right now - getting recaro cs sporster on driver side, for now, and sub belts brackets. may be I could do it myself but he was saying it will need custom brakets for 997 car, well, will see.
now I need to find brey-krause harness bar somewhere for cheap. can`t wait to see results...

 

Not even a schedule published yet...I'm dying. I may have to sign up for SCCA.

I've heard SCCA isn't very porsche friendly...but honestly...I don't have any intentions of winning...I just love driving my *** off. What are your thoughts for you guys in it ?

 

Why would you hesitate from signing up for a local autocross? GO!

I think you might be taking what you've heard the wrong way, as every SCCA region I've seen loves to see Porsches autocross. That reputation comes from how they class Porsches, nothing more. There aren't any SCCA classes where a Porsche is an overdog, but they're still classed fairly and if you're a good driver, you'll be competitive at the local level. If you're simply out for fun... it really doesn't matter, does it? It's going to be fun regardless of how you do

 

Thanks! Any other clubs? NASA or anything else I might be missing?

 

Absolutely, NASA and a lot of independent clubs as well. There are variations in classing and some variations in rules (different insurance companies mean a DOT or older SNELL helmet might be OK with one club but not another), but always involve driving fast around cones and getting timed. Most of the indies I've raced with use SCCA classing (if your 996T meets stock class requirements, you'd be SS - super stock for SCCA). I autocross with four different clubs in my area, including NASA and SCCA and two independents. PCA usually only does one autocross a year here; year before last, they did it joint with BMW club, but they didn't do any last year, which stinks. I end up doing about 2 autocrosses a month on average.

If you see autocrosses at Michelin's Black Lake in South Carolina, jump on that, it's worth the drive.

 

Currently I have only 7 weekends..........................that I am not running. Out of a 7 month season. 10 weekends that I am running are both days. 33 events so far. About what I did last year. First event is April 2.
