any other of these coming up, either at that location or other ones?

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.

Hey guys,

New member of the Boxster club here , just bought a red '01 S, hope to see you guys out and about soon. I may even go out to the AX in NRH on Sunday just to check it out.

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.

Ken, we made it but not until 12:30pm, we had my wife's bday party at our house last night so we were moving a little slow this morning to say the least and 8:00am just wasn't going to happen. We didn't see you out there, unless that was you at the gas station afterwards, hopefully we will see you next time.

Hi Mike - that probably was me - I did go to the gas station. Was that your red Boxster S?

We had a really long, but very fun, day! Lots of very fast cars but of course as we know, the Boxsters look the best going fast! We all were able to get in 10 runs which is above the typical day of autocross where you may get 6 at the most. With some car clubs (non-Porsche usually) you can only count on 3 timed runs. It was a fun and challenging course.

Hope you come back out and try it sometime. You can go to the Maverick Region PCA website at www.mav.pca.org and click on the Calendar link to find out about more upcoming driving events. The next autocross is a bit further away - in Mineral Wells at the end of April. Mineral Wells has a huge paved area - far larger than these football stadium lots - probably more than 4 times larger - so the autocrosses are usually set up to allow higher speeds and longer courses.

I think the plan is to have more local autocrosses after this next event in Mineral Wells. Some talk of having one on the parking lot at The Ballpark in Arlington or whatever it's called now. It's supposed to be a very big lot too.

Keep in touch - hope to see you at one of the PCA events - maybe one of the tours?!

Oh yeah, just looked at my last message. I guess that was you in a 2001 Red Boxster S! Very nice, very beautiful car! I was wondering if it was a car that was running but that I hadn't noticed before.
