Me and my buddy jim decided to cruise down to Ft. Devens today and check out the PCA autocross. Hung out with r_towle for a bit and his son. Great day for autocross, the weather was fantastic....

rich (r_towle) gearing up for a run and then dishing out some sage like advice for his son (rocket). Great to hang with you guys today!

very cool and original /6....

the ride home. Boston skyline peeking in from behind the treeline

I'm #75. Somehow I didn't notice you. Day went great for weather and other than losing a flapper valve on the way there (and finding it on the way home) no problems.

your car is nice, I thought I recognized it from the site before. I'm going to start swinging by the events so next time....


urge to autocross increasing.....

Hey Rich Grimace looks great!

Definitely come by, PCA will be there July 1 AND 2.

Here is my video from the event. (I had the fastest 914 there,
the green one has great drivers and better tires, but the
gearing of my -6 was better for this course.

914-6 Video, Autocross 06/17, 20Mb

That video is sweet...I will definitely come back this summer. I might run too later on, need to shore up my shifting first....

The video is awesome. And that course is just sick!!! How far is that from NYC? I would show up for that course

I agree, I was impressed by the course. The way its setup is really cool, almost like doing a lap on the track.

edit: duplicate post...

Use your favorite map tool and set Ayer, MA for destination. It's 10 min from I-495.
A bunch of people from NY come when we host the Zone 1, so it can't be too bad of
a trip.

Drew, last year my shift bushing in the firewall actually fell out, and I still won the class for the season. Shift slow, you don't have to do it much.

Drew, good to meet up finally.

I love the spirit of autocross.

The point of it is driver training.
I highly recommend that everyone that has a 914, especially the pure street cars, go to one event and drive.

I brought my son, in his stock car, no sway bar, and street tires...
It was perfect.
He spun it several times..(I told him both feet in)
He learned in a safe environment how to drive his car, and what the limits are...

This is so important to know. I see alot of kids in wrecks, but very few kids at a driver training event like this.

He learned alot, and learned his car. (now he is addicted also)
He drove my car last year (I have the full autox addict setup) so its not the same as learning on his own 914.

I think that the PCA has a great venue, and some great relaxed people.

Loads of fun.
