Autocross Update: Lone Star Park AX #7 & #8 By Mark Schnoerr Event #7 was the first of the combined PCA/Equipe Rapide events to have a PCA member as Event Master. This created an opportunity to design a course with some of the classic Porsche Club elements and to open up some more higher-speed sections of the Lone Star Park site. PCA Members stepped in nicely at this event. John and Gary Leto are now on the permanent tech crew to help speed the on-site tech process. Sigrid Schnoerr is the permanent Worker Chief and keeps that part running smoothly. I got to step in as the Event Master at this event. Ninety-six entrants, almost 40 of whom signed up on site, were split into two groups for morning and afternoon runs. Everyone got six timed runs, and the first car off was at 10 am. Timed runs were finished at 3:30 pm, followed by the awards and PAX cash payouts. The Porsche classes have their own PAX cash payout now, so some drivers went home with something more than the Designer Award Shirts.

Rick Gonzales brought his black 914/6 in just 0.2 ahead of Richard Reeves’ recently acquired fully-prepped 914/6 race car. Richard was sorting out some transmission problems that finally took him out. Rick is going to have a good fight with Richard. John and Gary had some issues with their, of late, great-running 914/4 race car. In class P7, it was a Cayman vs 911 battle, with Cayman driver Brian Ogle just ahead of Matthew Cords, followed closely by Ray Gibson in his very nice Carrera 4S. Ray found oversteer and got that 4S nice and sideways, maybe a little too sideways at least one time, keeping those guys honest.

What a great sounding and terrifically fast Porsche! They are going to the SCCA Autocross Nationals in September. Event #8 was on September 6, again at Lone Star Park. The nice grassy and shaded spectator areas were important on this unusually hot September day. It was a fast and challenging course that made good use of the elevation and camber changes. We had some close battles in the Porsche classes, some new members, and some first-time autocrossers. Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 4 is the PCA Time Trial on the 1.3-mile course at MotorSport Ranch in Cresson. Let’s hope some of the fast Porsche track cars make this one to wrest the top time of the day away from the BMW that has been quickest the last few years. The next scheduled event is on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 11 at Mineral Wells. Check the Equipe Rapide website (www.autocross.com) for updates.
