Default PCA Charity Autocross, 12/2, TMS Bus Lot

The Porsche Club of America (Maverick Region) is hosting a charity autocross at the Texas Motor Speedway Bus Lot on Sunday 12/2. The proceeds will benefit the Huffaker-Hughes Hope House (more info at http://mav.pca.org/about/charity.asp). All makes and models welcome.

Come out for a good time to support a good cause. There will be a lot of new people out there, so it would be a great time to try out autocrossing if you are new too.

The course. Tried to keep it somewhat simple since there will be a lot of newbies.

Just strange to see one there at all, running or not.

I think I may retire from AutoX'ing. I've realized it's kinda silly in the FX, at least unless I get good tires one day. I'm also always worried something is going to break.

I'd still come watch and stuff though.

Retire ? you never really got started !

Why don't you sell the FX and buy a G or Z ? Or something else you can Track. STI hatchback or something like that ?

Keep a Z or G for daily and a Miata for track/AX. They're cheap to buy and maintain.

I went out to watch a friend for a bit. I'd forgotten the event was happening or I'd have taken my fun car. My loss.

The black GT-R was scary fast.

I would never sell it haha. Actually, my long term goal is to buy a 2013 FX37 in the iridium blue used in 2-3 years and then turn the FX into a track monster. First I'd rip out the interior so it's lighter weight, since that's one huge issue.

That or just buy an older Z haha. I know my friend Phill on here was thinking about selling his, but didn't want to since it was such high mileage he wouldn't get much. If I had the money I would buy it from him to help him out and then race it. He already has seats in it, and nice enough wheels. Just needs new tires probably and some easy suspension work and it would be great.

Lots of wishful thinking haha, I should probably get back to studying for my final...
