Bay Area Autocross, What are the options Options

[r_towle]

Mainly PCA.
I have some friends that were very active here in the Northeast...yet they told me they recieved a not so warm welcome at the event in SF and are looking elsewhere.

Is there a club near Santa Clara???

If so, would someone care to reach out to these guys...they are really nice...they ran the autocross here for many years and just need a nice group of people to join so they are not so homesick for our club.

They are also perpetual volunteers...alas Boxter owners.

Thanx in advance.

Well you were holding up cocktail time what do you expect? I forgot about that element there. But they do have a Boxster remeber! Perfect car to keep the wine and cheese crowd happy.

Not sure if I should be offended... I own a Boxster... and a 914... and an MGB... and a 240Z. I don't hang with any "wine and cheese crowd". I show up early and take pictures of other peoples cars... I help when they break down. I think anyone who doesn't like the Boxster either can't afford one or their wife will not let them buy one. It certainly handles and no matter how Porsche chose to market it, it was a direct decendant of the 914. The marketing was Porsche's mistake not the Boxster owner. Give it a break. There aren't many 914 owners that would pass up a Boxster or a 911 if they could have them too. These are all fine cars.

I do recall Nathan getting "attitude" at a RWR event but not because of a truck breakdown. I think they wouldn't let him run because he missed part of a drivers meeting IIRC... Pretty chump, but Nathan was cool about it.

Tell your friends to try to make the SVR two day regional in September and we can make an effort to introduce them around... Tell them to see me or Steve. Preferably me as Steve has a lot of competition to get ready for and well.... I only drive a Boxster. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)
