The next PCA Potomac Autocross is Sunday, 14 September. It will be held at the Bowie Baysox stadium (directions here). Registration opens about 0730, tech closes by 0830 (so don't be late ), racing should start by 0930 and usually runs until about 1430. Who else is coming?

BillC, so we're P2? What do I have to do to my car before I show up? ie, 12 inch numbers on the sides etc...
Like FT said, we're in P5. You don't really need to do anything to the car besides drive there.
Once you arrive, go to the registration table and register. Then, empty everything "removable" out of your car -- things like floor mats, anything in either trunk, etc; basically anything that can slide around or become airborne inside the car. Then, go to tech, and have your car inspected. At tech, they will write your numbers on the windows. If you have a number set, you can use that instead, but you don't need to go get a set.
There will be a driver's meeting about 0900, and the racing will start about 0930.
Also, you might want to bring a large garbage bag or a plastic sheet, to cover the stuff you removed from the car, in case it rains.
So what do we need to bring? Cost? Helmets? ID?...ect. Nothing's worse than driving to the DMV 50 minutes away to find out you are missing a form, needed a parent as a co-signer, etc and have to go back and get it and waste gas, ect. I know you told me some of this stuff at the car show Bill, but I want to be 100% prepared and have no confusion or anxiety when I show up.
Drivers license, $40 cash, and helmet if you have it. There shouldn't be anything else you need; a tire pressure gauge is very useful, but I have it and don't mind sharing.
cayman s in a fender bender or i would be there. it has been at first choice for a month now. would bring the spyder but then my wife would beat me again in the smart car. will see you soon.
mike c.
ok. This is starting to suck. I am on a new project at work and have almost no access to the internet anymore. (I just dont think about it when I get home). I tried to register last night but the site said registration was closed.
but I think it says I can just show up and register? I just wanted to check before I drove out there to find out that I cant register.

Congratulations John, Bill, Mike; looking at the results, you guys did awesome. The P5 class seems to be the most exciting one with John and Bill within 2 points of one another and the winner of the last event will win the class, Bill cannot settle for 2nd place unfortunately; down to the wire
I am sorry I missed the event, it seems it was a fun course. There some good times:
Larry Olsen in S1: 57.6 with the Boxster (impressive given no LSD and street tires)
John in P5: 56.3
Bill in P5: 56.7
Mike in P5: 58.8 (very impressive given it was his first time I believe)
Interestingly, once again, Mr. Pappas with his S2 997 TT did a 55.1. That guy can certainly drive.
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.

Have fun.
