Mini has asked me to be the Porsche driver for the challenge. Not sure that is a good or bad thing

The drama at the finish line will be ehnanced by the fact that each car will be racing towards it from opposite directions!

The quetsion will be the Mini. In the southeast I know of at least one seriously fast (trophied at SCCA SoloII Nationals) guy who works for a Mini dealership. If they get him it could be a tough day for Cory who I don't think has as much auto-x seat time as this guy does.

Very cool... I bet they will have GJ Dixon in the Mini, he's my competition in the Robin Hood Rally and local autocrosses for FTD , he ran a Mini and Vette in the 1st RHR event and won both practice events before that.
He should be beatable in Atlanta on similar tires, the 911 runs in a much faster Solo-II class. Do some practice autocrossing. Cory, and kick some butt! Remember slow in, fast out, no power slides.

The cars are supposed to be bone stock, with no special alignment or tires. The Mini is going to be a cooper s that doesn't have the factory sports suspension and should be running on the stock run flat tires which I have heard aren't any good. I am hoping the 911 will have ps2's on it. I am expecting it to have a lot of understeer stock so have to be carefull to drive to the front tire's limits and not over drive the car. They was talk of wetting down the skid pad section of the track. That would be a lot of fun.

We won! I was actually a little worried after the last practice. The track was super hot and the tires totally went off. Tried to go easy on them and not slide it around too much for the race We did a best of 3 for lane choice and then one final race for the title I clipped a cone on the first run with the penalty lost by .2 Won the next 2 races and chose the inside lane Won the final by 2.1 seconds on a 1.07 track. A lot of fun. Huge production crew from la. Helicopter camera. Crazy event.

CONGRATS! Way to represent the Marque!
Sorry if this is already known here, but are you a contracted driver with PCNA or Porsche AG ?? Or was this event entirely separate from them ??
Pls post a link when you can!
