While at the PCA altamont autocross last Sunday I met a guy who organizes autocrosses at the altamont a few times a year......he just set one up for Sunday Sept 2nd.....the details are in the link above!

It sounds like he is planning a more open course, which should favor the larger more powerful cars like the 928...... If I can make it (depending on when my house closes and I move in) I plan on going!!

It is an open event, so there will be all kinds of cars present....so it would be a great chance to show some newer "sports" car drivers what the old 928 can do!

Brian: Thanks I was going to ask you about that. We will see if I cant get started back up and get a DNF at that one too.

Sounds like fun.
Gerry, have you worked on the car yet?

IcemanG17 · 07-26-2007, 09:34 PM

It should be fun, as long as its not too hot!

Charley B · 07-26-2007, 09:38 PM

The 40mph wind pretty much eliminates all sweating.

This is true..........plus a short sleeve shirt next time!

Charlie...not yet! I've been too disappointed, (DNF at an Auto Cross...sheeesh

) . I have purchased the products to work on it tomorrow. Hopefully, everything will shake out for the best.

Remember...I also have the the 82 to work on.

Heres the website about the event........I already signed up....who else is in???

Charley B · 08-17-2007, 08:42 PM

Afraid I'll be in Minnesota that weekend, maybe Road America. It looks like Jason won his own event last time, unless it was a different Jason.

Sounds kewl Brian. Thanks for the heads-up on these events.

Still have some pending issues to iron out with Bill's help (as usual), before I'd be road ready, if I can just make some time from the chaos at work.

Besides, it might be a great opportunity to bring my son out in the Blue Car for a Father-Son outing!!

Charley
Must be a different Jason, since the promoter drives a Dodge neon turbo....

Kirt
bring your son out in the OB.....why not...have fun and get plenty of seat time for cheap.....maybe talk Gerry into bringing his auto 82 out for an blue OB grudge match!

Bill Ball · 08-21-2007, 04:15 PM

I'll be there, probably spectating. I put a note in Norcal News and events schedule and will send out an email today.

Hope to see you guys at the Coffee and Car Talk tomorrow night!

IcemanG17 · 08-28-2007, 06:13 PM

Okay the registration is closing tonight at 8pm.....I'm in and so is Greg (85 5 speed).... I think we might be the only 928's running?

Bill Ball · 08-28-2007, 09:35 PM

Yeah, I'll be spectating.
