This is a little short notice, but better than never.
I have recently been informed that the Porsche Club will be holding another autocross this Saturday at the old Bloomington Air Port. At this point I've been told that tech inspections start at 8:30am and entry fee is $20.
If anyone has more information about this please add it on this thread. Otherwise I will add the information as I receive it.
Autocross is a blast - especially when you don't have to drive far to do it.

And when you car runs well enough to actually participate!

Who all is going? I'm thinking about it but I have to work at 2pm so that'll play a part in my decision. Maybe I'll just bring my clothes with me...

The event was cancelled due to lack of interest.

Well, I found out last night I couldn't make it anyway. The Camaro has a misfire due to crappy stock 101k mile plug wires, two bad tie rods, misaligned front end, and needs a new PCV hose. It still runs and drives but if it's going to an autocross anytime soon it'll be in tip top shape.

This event may not actually be cnacelled. My contact is checking into it and will let me know for sure tomorrow. If it is cancelled then that's too bad, but just incase it is not cancelled, don't give up hope yet.

What are you calling the "old Bloomington airport"? The airport is where it always was but there is a new terminal. Is this going to be at the old airport terminal's parking lot?

Yes... At the old Terminal from what I am being told.

Nope, sorry guys. Marty is right this event has been cancelled.
They may not have had any problem getting participants if they would let some folks know about it.

The email I received indicated they were trying to reschedule this event for October 22nd. I will post info when it becomes definite.
Also, the PCA is hosting an event near Peoria at the Cat Tech Center September 23rd. See their site for details:

My dad is planning on bringing his supercharged Miata to this event on Sept. 23rd. I will do everything in my power to have my crank installed and the engine re-tuned to make it to this event as well.

OK, I guess I won't be going to this event. I tried to pre-register on the link RacerX11 posted and it says the event is already full! DANG!!!
Can someone close with the PCA check this to let me know for sure?

OK, I have verified that the Porsche Club event is full.
The good news is that the CIR-SCCA is also holding an event in Rantoul Saturday and Sunday. My dad and I will be going to this event Saturday morning leaving around 8am.
I will post this up as a separate thread incase anyone would like to join in.

The PCA event was originally intended to be limited to 45 entries, but they got 60 before they could shut it off. Sorry you couldn't make it Marcus.
