Memorial Day Weekend Club Race... Or~ Maverick Region hosted more than 60 racers at the inaugural Eagles Canyon Raceway Club race May 24-26, sponsored by Boardwalk Porsche. It was a weekend of intense wheel-to-wheel competition and a lot of spirited fun and camaraderie. Racers came from seven or more PCA regions, including Mark Foley who towed his spec Boxster all the way from San Diego just to dice it up with the Mavericks. It started Saturday morning when racers got their first chance to experience Eagles Canyon under racing conditions. The wide turns and dramatic elevation changes of Eagles Canyon did not disappoint. Everyone quickly discovered that side-by-side racing and passing are possible virtually anywhere. The day was capped off with practice starts and a fun race that gave racers a chance to experiment with the best way of getting through turns one and two, often three wide, after the green flag dropped. Rookie racers, Guy Danielson and Shelly Burbank earned their provisional racing licenses on Saturday and were welcomed into the Club Racing family. Sunday brought intense action from start to finish with two sprints for each of the run groups. Spectators found great viewing from atop the hill overlooking the main straight where they witnessed some heart-stopping action as cars passed with tires smoking through turns one and two. We had a sizeable contingent of the all-new spec Boxsters and local racer Steve 10 By Bill Miller, Racer & Maverick Club Race Co-Chair A Happy Lou Bouchier with (upside down) award!
