The SIXTH AutoX event in our 'RTR AutoX+ Roadshow' will be the Central PCA Autox at Hershey in 3 weeks time on Sunday 23rd September. Their website says this is the largest single paved area in the state of Pennsylvania.

Start time - 8am, 2 runs groups, plan to finish by 1pm
Caravan - If anyone wants to caravan to the event together, suggest meet at the 'Peter J. Camiel' service plaza on the Turnpike - 8 miles west of Downingtown exit (312)at 6.30am (available Westbound Only)
RTR run group - as per SCCA, we will request an RTR run group - more info to follow -- only issue to note is that Central have asked that we do not have 2 drivers in any car if we want the RTR group as that would screw them up!
Price - $25 for PCA members (up $5 from last time)
Registration - event is limited to 60 cars (ish) so if interested please register early online using link above. Please add a note to say with Riensentoter so we can run in same group.

PAX Championship- Points will be awarded for attendance & final position at this event

Is anyone planning on heading to Hershey this weekend? I did the last one in Warminster, and have been looking forward to this for a while...

Yup, I'll miss this one also, I'll be at Pocono....
- pmajka - 09-22-2007
what time does AX start that we have to be in downing town at 6:30am???
- pmajka - 09-23-2007
There were 3 of us, but I will take 3rd place any way i can.
Wow you guys missed out...Turn 2 and 3 were so far apart, you could just go really, really wide and call it turn 2, Flat out in second gear. It was so fast, i ran out of motor...then ran out of brakes and then tires as i went straigt in to turn 4. hehehehe.
Hope Pocono was a blast.

Another fun day.
Lessons learned by a newbie:
1. Don't coast into a corner; stay on the gas, then quick onto the brake.
2. Instructors are your friend!
3. The Cayman S makes me seem like a much better driver than I really am.
4. Most important lesson: when the tech-inspector suggests taking out your floor matts, listen to him. That way you won't destroy your clutch on the first run, as the clutch-pedal gets stuck under the matt, and you inadvertantly ride the clutch from "go" to the first turn... Sorry if the noxious smell made anyone ill.

OH, that was you? PeeUwe!
- hardrivn - 09-25-2007
It was a fun day until that white Cayman S pulled out a much faster final run vs my 54.0
Anyone know where the final results are listed for the entire event?
