[Just found this thread and realized I should have posted the following message here.]

Sorry for the late notice - and if this has already been posted - but local DFW Boxsters (and those willing to make the trip of course) can autocross your car at the PCA Maverick Region autocross this weekend on Sunday, March 30th, at Birdville Stadium parking lot in N. Richland Hills. You can get details at http://mav.pca.org/events/AX.asp - then this page will direct you to www.clubregistration.net to register and pay entry fees. As far as I know the registration will be open through March 29. The local DFW PCA region is the Maverick Region. If you're a PCA member the event entry fee cost is $25 - non-members $35. If you don't have a helmet you can borrow one from the club. If you've never autocrossed and need help getting started there are instructors who can ride with you for the first few laps to get you started. There are plenty of great people in Maverick region who would be glad to help you get started.

If you haven't autocrossed your car before I highly recommend that you give it a try. I bet you'll be back for more.

Ken

Hey lucky_topher

Hope you can make it - sorry about that short notice, but yes, there are some more local PCA autocross events coming up soon. On April 6th there is the 2nd PCA autocross of the season that at Pennington Field (Central Drive near 183 in Bedford). I can't remember when the next one is at the moment but you can go to the site that I posted in my last email and there is a calendar of events for the Maverick PCA Region.

Yep, some possibility of rain and although I would prefer to autocross on dry pavement, it's not a bad idea to get some practice on wet pavement for real world rainy day circumstances. They will still run the autocross rain or shine - unless we get one of those really hard downpours that could become a safety issue. I just hope it isn't one of those off again/on again rain events where my competitors all get their runs on dry pavement and I get to run in the wet when it's my turn! But then again it could be the other way around. PLUS, very little to no tire wear in the wet!

Come on out if you can.

Ken

Hey Wingnut2u! Did you make it out to the NRH Birdville stadium AX last Sunday? Not sure if I saw a red 01 S ....... but if you didn't, there is another Maverick Region PCA AX this Sunday, April 6, at Pennington Field (Central Drive at Airport Freeway). Come out early (~8AM), register and participate if you can! Like most of us, you'll be hooked once you try it.

Hope to see you Sunday.
