It's just about that time to pull those cars out of storage and get them ready to race! In a few short months we'll be back on the pavement and warming up the tires! I, for one, am really very excited as this year looks to be one of the best ones in a long time. I'm working on filling out the regional events schedule, and already we have more events planned for '07 then we had in '06. And that's from only two regions! If anyone out there has any events you want posted, please send that info over to me so I can get it posted.

We would like to welcome the Eastern Buckeye region back into competition this year! It's nice to have you all back!

The tentative schedule for this year has been posted here, and the minutes for Annual Board meeting can be downloaded here (.doc). Please, remember to sign up for the Mailing List. Results will no longer be mailed out via snail mail.

This weekend the Allegheny Region will be hosting IRAC III at BeaveRun! Come join us Sunday, August 20th at one of the coolest venues of the year. The best part is that us Porsches will be going up against some other car clubs. Let's see who's the fastest out there!

Schedule for the day is:
7 AM - Track opens
8:30 AM - Registration is open
9 AM - Tech and course is open for walking.
10:30 AM - Drivers meeting.
11 AM - Autocross.

"There will also be a team challenge after the regular IRAC runs have been completed. Each marque will have the opportunity to form a 5 car team for a one-run shootout. Times will totaled and the team will the lowest total score will be declared the winner. Details will be spelled out at the drivers meeting." - Thanks Andy for the info.

Well, I hope I'm not the only one looking forward to IRAC II this weekend, June 12th, hosted by NOR. I'm so excited that I even updated the schedule (gasp!). If anyone is interested in saving some time at registration, you can print off the registration form ahead of time. For anyone that hasn't been to an autocross at Lakeland, it's a smooth piece of pavement--that combined with John Hulick's course design should make for a fun day of driving.

If anyone is coming early from out of town, Les Checel has scheduled a pre-race diner gathering at the Pearl of the Orient restaurant in Shaker Heights the night before (Saturday June 17th). Anyone up for some high class chinese food should come up, it'll save you that early morning drive everyone hates so much.

   Well, Autocross season is almost upon us, and it appears that I haven't been updating this place as much as promised. In fact, I have been working harder on this site than I have on any other! You just can't see my masterpiece yet! When I threw up this page I did it pretty sloppily, my intent has been to get the infrastructure up before I worried about populating it with content and making it 'pretty'. It would seem that either I have too high of standards, or I overestimated myself-- I'm having some trouble getting everything just right.
    Here's what I've got cooking: I'm building a custom database and scripting package to manage our race results. It will have profile pages for each driver and dynamically updated event pages where users can browse past events and current standings. It should be easy to update and even easier to distribute. Problem is that I've never taken on such a custom job. Needless to say its taking a little longer than expected, but hopefully it will be worth the wait. One reason I wanted to take on the task of building the site was it would force me to push myself to a new level of programming. That, for sure, has been the case.
   Other plans for the site include a newsletter system to replace the old hard-copy mailer and a survey system to gather feedback on how the Club is meeting the needs of the drivers. We're slowly making progress, so try to hang in there. I assure you all this will eventually become a world class site. For now, I encourage you to register on the forum and check out the newly updated schedule. Thanks for your patience.
