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/ |

914 domination happened, that's what (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Saturday was a short, narrow course with some heavily coned areas. 97 cars total raced, I was stoked with my performance, getting very close to times from 914-4s with 2.0+ engines and race tires, me with my stock 1.7 and Dunlop street tires. Andrew B in the Hamilton 914-4 dominated, with a 29.x, while Bill D was second with a 31.5x I think. Eric Fry was right in there, faster than the fastest Boxter or Cayman, which was Evan driving Phat Basterd (Grant's chopped Box). John Seidel, Martin MCGuire, and others arrives with trick 914s that rounded out a top 10. Most of the top 10 were 914s! I had a 33.7 sec fastest run and left feeling super jazzed. Sunday and we got a longer course. I needed lots of coffee after a fun Saturday night, and due to the slow start kept improving times until the very last run when I posted a 41.45 sec run. Turn-out was down, about 60-70 cars total, and some of those trick 914s were absent (Bill D, where did you go?). Grant and Evan had something break on PB, and didn't run, but Evan stuck around and raced his DD BMW before jumping in Clemson's Spec Box and in 3 runs had a 38.2. Bill C was again at or near top 10 in his light, yellow, 1911 TIV 914 and Eric Fry was smokin! He momentarily grabbed TTOD with a 36.9 , stepped out of his car, and lit a cigarette. But, that was before Andrew B's run group. Andrew hit a low 37 on run 1, then 36s, then was untouched posting times in high and mid 35 secs. Combined times for the weekend mid-engine racers had Andrew B out front by 2-3 seconds total, and likely Eric Fry in his silver 914-6 next.
