Autocross Events
When I reflect on the past three autocrosses, the last one is the worst for me because I
know that my Porsche will be parked for the next four months. If you missed the last one
you will have to wait until next year in order to test your Porsche to its handling limits.
In September, we held our last autocross for the year. The turnout was excellent. We had seventeen cars participate. All make and models were well represented. That list included: 911s, Boxsters, 944s, Caymans and a BWM M3. Hey who let that guy in? Just joking. Everybody was a good sport and the times were all competitive. The top four times were Greg Pfau (1984 911) at 1:07.8. Jeff Rogers (1985 911) at 1:09.3. Craig Lutz (1990 911) at 1:10.1 and Scott Jackels (2012 911) at 1:10.2.
In closing, I would like to thank the following people for their support this year in helping me organize the autocrosses; Jim Phillips, Jack Bishop, Richard and Judy Bennett, all of our PCA instructors and any others that I may have forgotten. I would also like to thank the unofficial autocross photographer, Jason Whitney. Great shots this year Jason!! With these volunteers, Kansas City would not have an autocross program. See you next year.
Full 2012 Autocross schedule coming soon!!!!!

Helmets
While the club maintains some loaner helmets, if you want to purchase your own, it must meet SNELL 2005 or later safety certification. Either the M or SA designator (for fire resistance) is acceptable.
