That’s it?  50-ish teams?  PIttsburgh really sucked up some teams it seems.

Yep...and the abysmal weather last year might have contributed but still...lot ofChicago area native teams not on that list.

Yeah, Pitt was a late add and we really wanted it on the schedule, so we had to take it in the gut on the date this year. The upside is that Pitt has 94 cars signed up (79 of them paid in full) with the database closing on Friday. Most of the Michigan teams look like they opted for Pittsburgh, which is a cool regional crossover with the East Coast teams, IMHO.

Should have plenty of racing and paddock room at Autobahn, at least. That'll be kind of novel.

Re: Autobahn 2019 Entries

Yeah... we missed last year’s Autobahn race, but usually 100 cars is common there.  Especially now with only one race per year.  Oh well... people are gonna miss out just like they did when they skipped Barber.

I mean we have a Potluck and a Paddock PROM going down at Pitt. So, I mean are we really missing out of another race at the ol’ country club in the middle of the intermodal depot?

Re: Autobahn 2019 Entries

Well... I was referring to the good weather that is predicted more than the boring flat track at a “country club” in the middle of an industrial park.

Never trust predicted good weather in April.

It’s just part of the weathers systemic psychological and physical abuse.

Re: Autobahn 2019 Entries

Curious what constitutes a Porsche 935. Is this a repeat theme? Completely non-Stuttgart machine?

I mean, I always wanted to race a 917/30, but I guess it's really just a badge smile

Isn't that one of the front engine VolksPorsche with a chevy 350 in place of the cast aluminum hate machine?

Fourteen time loser. You'd think I'd know better by now.

Re: Autobahn 2019 Entries

The list might be smaller...but..its still over 50.

When I started racing a grid of 30 was a big race!


See yall there.

Re: Autobahn 2019 Entries

The MetSHO is running with Charnal House, and they are not running this race.

This is what you’re looking for.
