This past Sunday was the Planes and Porsches auto cross run by a local Porsche club. I attended this event last year, and had such a good time I had to return. This is an auto cross like no other....lunch, a cocktail hour afterwards, and more food, all paid with your entry fee. You also get 6 runs since it is limited to 60 drivers. Just like last year, it rained for a good portion of the event. That didn't stop the action as we were all out there sliding around.
There were 10 Evo's which competed, a few BMW's, many Porsche's and various other cars including a Cadillac, VW, Nissan, etc. The course was the same layout as last year, which helped the learning curve for those of us who competed last year. I was able to lay down a solid run in my 3rd pass in the morning session, and was sitting in first out of all non-Porsches. Lo and behold, the rain kept up and I was able to better my morning session time in the PM. Several other Evo's and a BMW put down solid times too, but my best run held up. I finished first out of all non-Porsches and 3rd/4th overall.
Thanks to everyone who came out to watch. Maybe you guys will get the itch to run sometime! If you didn't make it out, here are the pics and videos.
Two of my runs. The first is my fastest of the day, and the 2nd is the one where I spun out. Videos of some of the other Evo's running that day. |
