The Shendandoah Region’s fifth autocross of the 2011 season on August 14 started with puddles left over from heavy rain the night before. Despite threatening weather forecasts, the sun came out and dried the parking lot, and the rain didn’t return until well after the autocross was over. There were 40 racers, ten in Porsches. Rick Ebinger drove on new rear tires and grabbed the FTD, 58.381 seconds. Jeffrey Elmore was right behind at 58.509 seconds. Most of the course was quite fast, but it ended with a tight slalom to help the Miatas at the expense of the Corvettes. Mick Seal’s 1994 Mazda Miata was the fastest “other” car with a time of 59.235 seconds.
