    I have been wanting to try a PCA autocross event for quite some time now. I finally got a chance to attend last month, its great fun - 11-12 runs in the day (4 morning practice/ 4 afternoon practice/ 4 championship runs)

    Who: Porsche Club of America Orange Coast Region will be hosting the event
    What: Autox @ El Toro! $65 for PCA members $75 for non-PCA members
    When: 10th of June 2012
    Where: El Toro Airfield at the Orange County Great Park
    Why: Why not?

    No one in TCL actually tracks their cars. We build them for us, for the haters, to rule the street scene, and to rule parking lot GTGs with our $200k Golfs and $30k Jettas and unbeatable mk3 GTIs.

    No, we drive our BRZs 300mph upside down in the tunnel they built under the Nurburgring.

    Well you know $30k Jetta with Porsche engine, you know those people who circle jerk to mk3s but have never ever been on a track with them.

    Now, we have a thread on a "$200k invested into this R32, makes 750awhp, can make 900 on race gas but this car is NOT a race car and has never been to a race track, for sale asking $50k."

    I was pretty sure we mocked those people, right?

    Precisely. But they seem to make up the majority of TCL these days.

    More people to mock. I'm strangely ok with that.

    I swore they said the next OCR PCA autocross is a Zone 8 event, meaning you cannot join if you are not a Porsche owner/member. I could be wrong though. Apparently their website isn't doing so great

    I'm pretty sure that non-Porsche cars can drive at zone 8 events since they have a box for x-class cars (non porsche) in the registration form but it seems that the X class is all sold out now.

    IIRC the last event I was driving at was zone 8 too.
