Autocross 1Peachstate's
first 2011 autocross will be held at Atlanta Motor Speedway, which has
about 15 acres of exciting, flat parking lot to test your driving
skills!
As your new Autocross Co-Chairman, I am hoping for a large turnout so
we will have the first car out around 10 am. Please arrive at the track
no later than 9 am so that you have plenty of time to walk and memorize
the course. It will be a very fast, wide-open course, so you it is best
to get acquainted with the layout before driving it.
Registration costs $30 per car, and can be completed online,
here
at clubregistration.net. If you had a car number last year, no worries,
that assigned number still belongs to you.If you do not have one,
then we will assign you one.
We need about 100 registered cars in order to break-even on our cost.
All Porsche Club members need to register ASAP, because if we do not
have 100 Porsches registered one week prior to the event, we will have
to open registration up to the various car clubs in Atlanta to reach
our 100 car limit. We want to go out and have fun, but we don't want to
lose our shirt doing so!
A few miscellaneous details: As usual, we will have a PortaJohn
restroom on site. There are several places to get some lunch close by,
so bring some cash or pack a lunch. Bring lots of water, because it
will likely be hot! You'll drive a lot better hydrated than dehydrated,
so start drinking a day or two before the event, in case its a steamer
out there.
Porsche Club members: remember that we have a our usual annual
competition in each class for a year-end trophy. You need to attend at
least 4 events to be eligible for the year-end trophy. As for trophies
at each autocross, this year we are going to hand out special ribbons
for First and Second Place. However, the year end trophies will be very
special.
So come out and have some really fast fun!
