Tough day of competition at Devens (NER SCCA autox)

One thing that all of the PSG drivers who attended the NER event in Devens can agree on is that they're extremely exhausted.

Ayer, Ma being 2 hours away; PSG drivers had to depart from the hometown of central CT toward the direction of the rising sun as it barely awoke over the hills. Gus, being the only drive who had been to Devens knew that SCCA is the breeding ground for national champions and runner-ups. This day was not going to be easy.

With 138 registered drivers ready to out-run each other, the day started out smoothly in SCCA's grid-organization fashion. Throughout the day, timing equipment failures and miscommunication yielded only three runs per car for the entire day.

Due to the fact that only 3 PSG autocross championship drivers could make it on this mother's day weekend, the event has been taken off of the official event list.

Overall raw result:

• Gus finished 70th overall with a Raw time of 84.594 (Pax of 72.412): 2nd Place in PSG scoring
• Matt finished 74th overall with Raw time of 84.925 (Pax of 71.167): 1st Place in PSG scoring
• Jeff finished 90th overall with Raw time of 87.818 (Pax of 73.591): 3rd Place in PSG scoring

Being relatively new to autocross, it was encouraging to know that these PSG drivers landed themselves in the middle of the pack, with ample amount of room to improve for the rest of the season. It will be interesting to see what they times they will post the next time they arrive to the Devens playground.
