Autocross Challenge results by Tom Gorsuch
It was a very close competition today. We’re waiting for the
final verified results but as
we closed down the scoring at the
venue it appears hat Citrus beat us by one position. We had three
people (Dave, Cheryl, and John) within 0.5 seconds of the next
position and any one of them could have pulled it out all the way to
the last run of the day. Another almost scenario is if we would have
had just one more hot-shoe show up. Still we had just as many there
today as Citrus so the odds were good. Andre drove phenomenally to
win the very competitive Cayman class by almost a full second. Mike
Masters also had a blazing afternoon to win the Carrera class by
more than a second. I had car problems so didn’t complete all of my
runs but probably couldn’t have taken the 944 class anyway. The 944
class was won by a youngster (in his 20s I’d guess) who just changed
from our region to Citrus a few weeks ago. The switch had to do with
them living in Deland which is an easier drive to Orlando than to
Melbourne. Bert even called Citrus members to get them out of bed
this morning because he saw the strong contingent we had brought.
Jim West, their fastest Porsche driver wasn’t going to come because
he had sold his car and was waiting on his next one to arrive. Bert
begged him to come and then Rita offered that he could drive the
GT3RS which he d
id and of course he won that class. Hats off to
Citrus for pulling out all the stops to retain the trophy. We all
had a great day of Porsche fun and a great effort by both regions.
