PSG Championship Event #1

April 28^th, 2007

The 1^st annual PSG Autocross Championship was officially kicked off on Saturday, April 28^th at Greyhound Park in Plainfield, CT! The day started off with a little shock as the PSG drivers saw first hand how large the new Greyhound Park location was. Unfortunately, the quality of the surface was less than perfect with ruts filled with grass, raised surfaces that acted as speed bumps and potholes that could eat a whole car, never mind just a rim! Luckily, most cars finished in the 50 second range without incident.

PSG had an excellent turn out, and swept 1^st place finishes in Rookie Stock, Rookie Non-Stock, and a 2^nd place finish in B-stock.

The competition was fierce in Rookie-Stock, but PSG swept the entire class with Gus Lin finishing 1st in his White Evo MR and Matt Gleiner pushing his STi Limited closely behind in 2^nd. Jeff Guerrera brought his newly acquired Camaro SS to the track and finished the day missing a Rookie-Stock trophy by a narrow margin that he vows to close with practice.

Whoever said American Muscle is only for the drag-strip has obviously never met Phil Mackaronis, who took the Rookie Non-Stock 1^st place cup with his E-Street Prepared Camaro Z28. Steve, also competing in Rookie Non-Stock came out for his very first time and improved dramatically each run he made with his street modified Camaro Z28. In future events, he will definitely be one to watch out for.

Mike Miller also finished a very respectable 2^nd in B-stock with a Nissan 350Z that wasn’t even his own! It’s a good thing he didn’t beat the owner, or he’d probably never be allowed to drive the Z again. Henry Tran ran great in B-Street Prepared on street tires, and finished well among the competition.

Stay tuned for the official release of the PSG Championship scoring!
