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/ |

Plus he's running a tired 2.7. He's a cowboy driver that somedays can pull amazing times out his ass and other times he is way off. If he is coming, and he is on, he will be good competition.

Eric went to GGR this year? I thought he went down last year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . Oh well, like I said, when he is on he is very fast. If he is off he is WAY off.

Wow, I wonder why he's been going all the way down there. That's a decent trip. He should be at the AX today so I can find out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, I just found out from his wife he is down there until they finish a job. Sounds like he is going to run more events down there this year than he will up here.

Yeah Eric isnt bad for a guy in an antique 914. Think my car put a second or two on him the last time Dan and I drove against him. Youre going to need to send in 914 reinforcements stronger than his car if youre going to hold off the Boxster from taking overall win with better AX drivers than me in the cockpit.

OK, What the Eff?
Gotta have some people commit to the shootout people! I registered last week and as of now there are only Grant and Evan; me and Sean in the 10JREEN and Scott Miner. Where the hell are the competitors? The only ones that are talking smack are Grant and Evan and no one is paying any attention to them, anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) Doesn't anyone remember the last shootout? That was a full on blast and seeing cars and drivers from all over CA and points North was a real treat. If there isn't a significant spike in attendence in the next few days, we are going to have to bow out. There's no way I'm driving all the way up from SD to parade around with only a small handful of people. I know that B isn't here to drive the bus this time around, but someone's got to get on, right! Time to sac up! |

there will be plenty of folks in attendance...lots of norcal and GGR folks sign up the last 10 days or so, it will pick up in the next week. Plan on there being at least 80 or more people, and of those at least 50% will be midengine cars...
