All makes of autos are allowed so you do not have to own a Porsche or be a club member to come out and have fun.

Never seen an autocross with dimensions, well done. Is it setup for a dead stop cone or slow before exiting ? I assume you start from the bottom for a slow exit ? thanks

[MHKflyer52]

Setup for a slow before exit and yes the bottom right is the start.

Top right is the end and their is a path that will take the cars around the grid area and back to the start so that is why there is a slow down at the exit besides we do not want anyone running over our equipment at the very end of their run because they have spun out trying to squeeze that last second of time like some of us have done that are on this forum........:devil:.......No Names will be mentioned

Well we had a great turn out for the charity autocross for Habitat 4 Humanity with 48 cars participating, gerat weather (clear and sunny with a light breeze). We also had four Lotus 7's show up and run the event, sorry that I was only able to get three of them in a row and take a photo with my phone so the quality is not all that good but as the event orgainizer and chair I was just a little busy during the day.

One of our forum member twinpipe was present and he had the second fastest time of the day with a 54.721 and he wass having fuel starvation issues with his Turbo Miata Powered 7 otherwise I feel he would of had the fastest time of the day which was 54.020 for the .73 mile centerline length course.

OK here are my phone photos: Twinpipe crossing the finish on his best time.

 

Three of the four 7's in a row.

 

A view of the weather and event area.

Thanks Martin for a well run event with your own challenges. His crew had to setup at 5:15 in the morning using headlites, as the strip was used by a film crew the day before! Contestants showed up well before the sun as his group has such a good reputation for events. It was great to meet other 7 owners and swap notes, we were unaware of each other ? look forward to you driving your own car next time, you'll likely beat me as I watched you do a " warm up" lap prior to the event. xxx mph. on the straight!
