Oregon Region PCA hosted a new event called the "Spring Break Out" on the last weekend of February/1st of March. It was 2 days of solid autocrossing with a school, teen driver's clinic, practice, and a competition event. This was all held in the "Pro Pits" at PIR as BMWCCA and ORPCA were holding HPDE's at the same time! It was an awesome weekend despite the cold and wet weather. We hadn't been racing since October, so everybody was willing to tough it out and just enjoy not having snow. The grids were PACKED and the courses were HOT! I have hundreds of pics from both days of the BreakOut so even if you don't see your car, please feel free to e-mail and I will send you full-size copies of whatever I have.
Spring BreakOut featured packed lunches, and a sold-out grid for every event.
The view down the start. The Pro Pits area is small but well paved and the course designs made full use of every inch.
Into the stop box at the finish, the defending class champion Cayman.
The $hitBox taking off on a run with either Britain or JP at the helm.
Barry on a run in his GT3.
John running the 400HP GTO through the wet.
Gary getting up to speed in the 914-6.
We're just made of sterner stuff up here in the Pacific Northwest. That's a brand new Boxter autocrossing in the wet with the top down in Oregon in February. Nice!
A classic air-cooled 911 coming into the finish.
Gary showing the "standing water" conditions we sometimes have to deal with!
The insanely quick, and usually Top-5 overall finisher, Turbo Miata.
The even more insane LS1RX7 driven by builder/owner Josh. This car changes body panels every event but is usually found at FTD in Non-Porsche and even FTD overall.
Myself in my 12A-powered 1st Gen RX7.
And coming in hot at the finish. I had my first ever Top-10 in Non-Porsche at this event and first Top Half of Field. Water is the great power equalizer ;)
