This is the first time I’ve ever witnessed an accident at a speed ventures autocross. It was a pretty fast track and it was his first time up since his last break so the tires were pretty cold & so was the track. The driver was shaken up quite a bit, but he walked away.

my 5th time racing at an autocross event. had a fun time, wish i could went a little faster though. The race was at Hutchinson Island and held by the buccaneer region of the SCCA.
Took our Bad Penny project Camaro out to the Porche Club of America’s (PCA) autocross at the El Toro track.. the course was well over a mile long and we were hitting nearly 90 mph in sections. Bill Chin’s Camaro had an oil issue so I let him drive the ‘68 some so the car got a real workout. Doug from Global West has been helping tune the new suspension and we found that the car needs a bigger front swaybar to control push. Still, the car did great, ran hard all day and will be even better next time. Thanks to the PCA for putting on a killer event and to Doug and Bill for the help!
