For our first autocross on May 12, designer Rick Ebinger squeezed a lot of mileage into the limited area of the main parking lot that we can still use at Verona. His course included two concentric counterclockwise loops, a drag race, a real slalom, a fake slalom, and four transitions between the asphalt and concrete parts of the parking lot. It was fast but long enough that Alex Burkhart took 45.001 seconds to capture the FTD, and Jonathan Newhall had the shortest time in a Porsche — 45.190 seconds. The fastest lady was Langlee King, at 46.642 seconds in Will King’s Honda S2000. Jim Condon and Sherry Westfall completed the 2000 mile run-in on their new Cayman GTS just before this autocross and drove it at speed for the first time.
