Porsche Club of America Golden Gate Region is hosting the 3rd annual Mid-Engine Shootout June 12th and 13th at Alameda NAS.
This is an autocross focused on all mid-engine cars produced by Porsche and is event to crown fastest mid-engine Porsche that shows up and runs both days for combined time fastest times from the 2 day event. Usually a few categories. Fastest car, Fastest street car, Fastest driver over 55, etc. Do you have a friend with a 917 just sitting in a museum? Convince them to come out! We have seen a 908 show up to an autocross before! Do you have an old 914 race car that hasn't seen any action for a few years dust it off and come play with us! Does your neighbor have a Carrera GT, Cayman S, a Boxster or a 914 that you want to help them drive? This is your chance to see how you stack up against the fastest mid engine autocross cars in the West! This should biggest gathering of mid-engine Porsches at an autocross in California. We had over 60 mid-engine Porsches from all over the West Coast the last time this event was held in California! No PCA membership required if you are driving a Porsche. If you dont have a mid engine Porsche you're welcome to show up in much slower rear or front engine Porsches as well! Get the word out! Registration for event can be found here and you need to register for both days if you're going to attend the Mid-engine Shootout: http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/eve...06BD416979BC699 http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/eve...A7B1885938B354B GGR PCA Website: www.pca-ggr.org/ |

I understand dealing with the city can be a major problem but the way that SoCal has seemed to overcome it is pay lots of money and have more waiver forms. Maybe it isn't an option for GGR but it might be worth taking some polls to see if there is any interest in raising prices to $65 an event (what we pay down here), and getting car counts up to ~110 if that would allow for less restrictions. Maybe faster bigger courses aren't what you guys want or that the added price isn't worth it to the majority or the city can't be enticed with more $ per day but it could be worth looking into. OCR has a blemish free safety record for and SDRs is only roughly one damaged car a year or less and they run full on DEs in the parking lot and have a lot to run into. So it is possible to run fast courses safely. Alameda is large enough to run some really fun, fast, big courses, especially with a couple days spend with some weed killer and a leaf blower (or better yet a street sweeper like El Toro has had on occasion, yes we are spoiled).
