Our first autocross of the year took place on March 31, when we raced at the Richmond International Raceway on the big banked oval. There was a 14 degree bank, a Chicago Box in the middle of turn one, and a killer straightaway to make this an interesting event. As usual, Euroclassics put on a good show, with lots of support and a lot of interesting characters. This was the second event at this site and I hear rumors of more in the future. We had a small herd of GT3s and a number of Lotuses on the course. It was a very fast day for everyone, with some of the cars using four gears on the track, but Erik Boody and his old 911T produced the FTD. Chess Earman ran very near the top, and Howie Dunbrack’s 944 came in a very respectable fourth overall. Mark Cooke and Alex Smith battled Rick Kiser’s new GT3 and all were in the top ten. Andy Turner got his white 911 back and knocked off the rust to run again. Andy’s car is still one of the best-sounding Porsches around. The event had its share of spins and slides, but the players stayed off of the walls and we had a safe and accident-free day. It was a great day, thanks to all who came, and thank you Euroclassics for sponsoring the event.
