Porsche Autocross Awards

DRIVER OF THE YEAR TROPHY!
(some assembly required!)

NMS brought home the Carolinas Region Porsche Club of America Autocross 2025 Driver of the Year award for being the only driver to win all six events in their class last year! Other fast drivers in different classes won four or five events for their classes, but only one driver won all six! BOOM! Once I put it together the Breitling stopwatch will be mounted inside the glass case!

The Porsche Club kicked off their 2026 season and recognized drivers from 2025 at Porsche North Lake in Charlotte. As kind of a 2-in-1 meeting/info session, there were awards for the 2025 class winners, and the club also gave an introduction to Autocross for drivers interested in starting to autocross in 2026. Oh, and there was lunch, so I'm a big fan of a free food too!

NMS brings home the trophy for winning the S03 class last year. 

This event was held at the Porsche Charlotte Northlake dealership, which just opened last year. As you can imagine, a shiny brand new Porsche dealership is in a nice new building, with tons of service bays and other amenities. OK, they don't have hot and cold running caviar, but they do things first class. 

Autocross schedule for 2026

Ready for some awards, and thanks to Porsche Charlotte Northlake for hosting.

Autocross Chairman John Kelly explains the strategy for driving a slalom. 

One way to encourage some more folks to come out and drive at these events is a big discount for college students. Instead of the usual $80 per event fee, current college students can autocross for only $25! Too bad I just wrapped up my Automotive Technician courses too!
