Local PCA chapter is hosting an autocross event in Lubbock, TX. This is the first summer we've had a local event in years (probably 10+ years ago).

I'm just going to participate, get some seat time and learn the ropes so I can make myself more useful for our FSAE team this year. Going to be kind of a loosely classed event, so it won't be straight up SCCA regs. Should still be fun and I'll be up against some quality cars. Mostly Porsche variants, a handfull of Vettes and other stuff. We'll see how I do on my first outing, and hope the V6 and T-56 stays happy.

Plan on snapping pics/video in the process for the facebook page I manage as well for some fresh content.

Was a fantastic experience! We were able to do 2, 6-lap practice sessions of the course and one 4-lap timed session.

Not sure where I placed yet, since it is PCA and they're still getting things figured out it was more of a fun run. I got classed with a bunch of STI's and an Evo with one corvette vert and a Cayenne!

The two STI's were quicker than me by probably 4 seconds, but they had more power and AWD. The last fast corner was a dead spot, too high to shift into 1st, but so low in 2nd that the car was out of the cam's powerband.

They'll be posting times on their website soon.

HAD A FRIGGIN BLAST! Got nothing but compliments, and had good tips from two road race instructors there.
