Anyone going to the Tobay AutoX this weekend?

 

I'll be there in the morning to check out some of the cars. Probably get some practice with photographing cars on the move.

 

Emil I was there with D, we co drive my car where were you?? BTW he beat me by 8 10th's today dammit :|

 

Hey iLLM3,

So you were the driver of that gray beast? I have some good action shots of you on the AutoX course. I'll post them tonight.

Here is a preview of some other cars:

 

Hi Pete yes that was me I would love some pictures, much appreciated. Too bad I couldn't put a face to a name/screename, next time!

Martin

 

Nice pics, Pete.

 

iLLM3, my bad. I spent most of the time way out in the field taking picts, but by the time I walked back to the pits, everyone was out at their work assignments already!

emilgh, I thought this was your GT3:



I forgot that you had the white wheels!

The owner was Jonathan and he said he knew you.

Some more pictures are here. I'll add more tonight

I havent ever AutoX'd but I wanted to give it a shot, how many people turn out usually and how many runs do you get ?

Anyone have a website with some info ? thx.

 

Hey raiyu,

The easiest thing to do is to sign up with the local Porsche Club of America, which for you would be the Metro Region PCA.

I think the annual fee is about $40 but well worth it to get access to AutoX and track events as well as social events.

For AutoCross, you normally show up early that morning and register to run. The cost is between $30 and $35. You'll get at least 4 runs in the morning session and another 4 in the afternoon. If the turnout is low, you'll get more runs.

For AutoX, you'll need at least an SA2005 or SA2000 rated helment. Some club do offer rental helmets, but do you really want to wrap your head in one of those?

That helment is also good if you decided to do big track events at Pocono, Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, etc.

I see the next AutoX at Tobay Beach will be on 4/13.

 

Thanks for the info I think Im definitely going to sign up and keep my calendar open.

 

Hi Pete, Those are great pictures. Thanks for sharing. I believe I may have tech'd your car. Next time I'll introduce myself. Martin, That was some nice driving!! I think you had Demetri a little nervous by the end of the day.

 

Hey 5speed!

Sorry, I didn't run the AutoX on Sunday. I just got past my 2000 mile break in period and will change the oil this weekend before I start running the car hard.

I played the role of photographer for the day. I think I have a nice full on shot of your car.

I'm going to start a new picture thread to share all the photos with everyone.

 

LOL Thom, in his 914 he would have ripped it up though You check out the pictures of your beauty Pete took?

BTW expect a call tomorrow, let's get it rolling! Thanks again

 

I was wondering does doing an Auto-X event void your warranty as it does if you take it on a track?

 

I wouldn't think so. In the NNJR region, a Porsche dealership is the main sponsor for the AutoX events this year.
