P4Us – DE – February

I don’t know about you, but I am pretty psyched up about our DE 2015 season approaching and getting back on track. Our schedule is set for 2015 and by the time you read this, we would have just held our Instruction to High Performance Driving seminar (January 25, 2015). It is at this seminar we introduce new drivers (and potential drivers) to the world of DE, what is it all about and how to partake in these driving events. If you missed it, here are some of the highlights regarding preparing for a DE event.

2017 Autocross Program (& Schedule)

Come on out! Have a blast! Learn how to control your car! Here we are in 2015, and we have a new Autocross program being planned. We also have a new AX chair (me) so bear with me as I learn the ropes. Many thanks to Chris, Tom, Drew and all who are helping along the way.

Autocross 2015 – Welcome! . . . a LOT is new . . .

Autocross is, hands-down, the cheapest, safest, least time-consuming way for you to learn basic performance driving, push your car, and push your skills. It’s fun, informal and the crowd is welcoming. And if you have family members or friends, who are – horrors – Porsche-less, bring them in (more or less) whatever they have – its all good.

One Car at a Time

Autocross is a one car at a time competitive event in which each driver negotiates his/her car through a course laid out with traffic cones. It is an exciting car handling and control competition held either in a large parking lot such as one of the newly paved MetLife Stadium lots or a road course such as the one at Englishtown’s Raceway Park. The course is electronically timed and is a race against the clock for the fastest time. Cars are penalized by two seconds for each cone knocked out of the box. Cars are grouped by class, depending on the type of car, to keep the classes competitive among themselves. Awards are given to the three fastest cars in each class and to the fastest overall time.
