I wish I could make the April 6 date, but I will be at the beach (not a bad trade-off). I'm putting July 6 and August 3 (my birthday!) on my calendar.

The April 6th date is a week before our event, so if you have any changes you've wanted to make to your car, this would make an excellent test & tune! The event I did with them in the past, they did morning runs and afternoon runs, which gives you time to adjust and try new things if you want. I don't know if that's how they intend to run this one or not, but hey.... seat time is seat time, and seat time is the best mod you can make to your car.

Can we somehow convince the PCA people to let Mike design their courses for them on their zMax events? Or maybe "accidentally" leave printouts of old Licursi zMax course maps at their next event?

I've already sent the guy links to the old course designs that were posted in various threads around here  |

Round #3 - July 6, 2013 Z-MAX Concord, NC Registration may or may not be open for this if anyone is interested..... And if it is open, they close registrations around 100 drivers and registration closes 10 days prior to the event. |

So for those of you that like to register at the last minute, I just got this email that said "we are extending registration for SCCA Drivers until TUESDAY of Next week.. JULY 30" for the Aug 3 event.
......That said, "SCCA" is just the name of the class, you don't need a membership. And if you're still on the fence and want to wait later than that, email Sean @ photocomp11@gmail.com and he still might sign you up......but you didn't hear that from me.
Also they plan on doing at least 6 runs, good chance you'll get more than that.

I already registered, but is there a way to change your number? I have magnets, but was randomly assigned a number that doesn't blend. Thanks.

You can ask Sean if there is any combination of your numbers (assuming you run individual magnets and can change them around....) that is not already assigned; if so he can change it for you.

Here is my best run from the PCA Autocross at zMax on August 3rd. They did a nice job with their autocross, had a lot of fun. 6 runs on a fast course is always appreciated.

Damn the power course! I think my 4th was my best, around 70.7something. It was...um..."interesting" seeing how many people were not used to using 3rd on their first run  |

I had a blast at the 8/3 PCA event. It's hard to go wrong at ZMAX and that course was super fast! Kurt's Lotus goes to 66 MPH in 2nd gear and we still had to go to 3rd a couple times. I definitely struggled to time/execute my upshifting/downshifting...not all of us have it down like you do Gregg!  |

I'd kill for 66. Silly 6 speed Miata tops out 2nd in the mid 50's. Hell, I've had to use 3rd at Metrolina before if that gives you an idea of how often I have to shift  Oh and I was wrong, my last run was my best at 70.8...meh.... |

Wish I could have made that one. Gregg, In your video where the camera is behind the right front tire you can see sparks coming from the wheel under braking. That was cool!!! Look around the 4:40 and 6:00 mark. It was at the last left 180.
And maybe they were there, I didn't see any rescue personnel or ambulances in their usual space. I would guess PCA would have to have 'em like we do?

Great event, but like some others had trouble figuring out shift points. I tried leaving it in 3rd for most of the time but was more than a second slower when I did. Good experience though, at those speeds I was way behind the course and needed to be doing everything sooner than I was. I also didn't notice when registering that there was an SCCA class so I ended up in non-Porsche.
Steve, the emergency personnel were hanging out in the shade under the grand stand.

It was actually a bit annoying, if you wanted to sit at the tables up there to watch in the shade you had the exhaust fumes to deal with. I know, first world problems...

How do i become a member so i can come to this event and get my feet wet ? is this event open to any make or model ? This thread is the 2013 schedule, check here for the 2014 schedule and information: ccrscca.proboards.com/thread/6315/2014-pca-autocross-scheduleYou do not need to be a PCA member or SCCA member to join their events. They are open to any make/model but only have 2 classes for "us," either the "non-Porsche" class or the "SCCA" class (which does not require an SCCA membership, its just named that....). |
