Bit of loose gravel, but for the most part the broken pavement sections were repaired. If, I say if, our intelligence agents had reported this, me, myself and I - among others? - would have signed up for/run today's autocross. Any participant reports from today?? Was it much improved??

No problem in 968 but Steve's 914 did not enjoy it.
You obviously never got to experience the track conditions at Holtville at the end of its life as a race track. We used to call it "Joltville" because of the football-sized pieces of concrete that would be thrown up by the cars in front of you. Trim pieces damaged? HA! I saw broken wheels, fist-sized holes punched through steel floors, and mangled header pipes that looked like someone took a sledge hammer to them. It made Qualcomm look like a walk in the park....Old Guy wrote: FYI: my one and only "recent" (in the last year) My opinion: Qualcomm is history. Don't think I'll autocross there again, no matter PCA or BMW. Pavement condition sucks. Not fun. Today I spent an hour with my GTS up on a jack putting trim pieces back together under the car. Total BS.
