If anybody here looks at Pelicans OT forum we make our announcements there. If Ya'll would like when it gets around to time for deatail I would love to share with this group. We only had 2 Boxsters last year, we could use some more.

This is an in car cam of one of our runs, the wife was driving. (It's her car)
The roads all around the area are awsome and the best part is the lack of cell phone coverage.

Thanks for the information but I need a few weeks after the TOD to let the adrenalin down slowly. A trip in November means I would come home to winterizing the car.

Have a great time!

Sweet! Make sure you get a room booked. Might consider seeing if Chills is still looking to split a room (unless you have someone joining you for the trip)?

BTW-The first autocross is April 20th so put it on your calendar. I can't wait to see how your car handles with the work you've done.

Sammy,

Autocross? I would be very interested in finding out when, where and how to. It is nice to know that there are so many enthusiasts in Chicago. I have looked on the PCA website with no postings for April 20th. If you could forward me the info... I would be very much interested.

Djomlas.... I checked out your car on your website... nice!

Good to be here.

Just did some autocross at Sebring down in FL that was an awesome time, hopefully i can do some autoxs here in chicago too i thought the first one was in august though?

For you Chicago people that aren't already on my autocross distribution list and want to be, please PM me your email address. I'll be happy to elaborate as to where, when, what, why, who, etc. We have a crew ranging from 2 to 7 people that typically will go to autocrosses (3 Boxsters, 1 M3, 1 shifter kart, 1 VW bug, and 1 240SX on steroids). Last year we even had a Viper grace us with its presence for one event.
