I thought the Talk List people should know that the People's choice "Best of Show" car was autocrossed! Leigh Rutledge ran her beautiful '56 Cab, and it didn't break . . .
And, the 3rd place Speedster in People's Choice also took top time in the Women's autocross division and it's didn't break either!
The moral of the story is "DRIVE 'EM,"

Autocrossers and Fans of the 2008 WCH,
The results of the 2008 WCH Autocross are shown below. Click the image to see it full size. The Autocross Volunteers hope you had a great time and as the guy who did most of the flagging I can attest to all of the smiles as you crossed the finish line.
Mark Grimstvedt was the AutocrossMeister and Chairmen, and of course Rich Peters made it all possible by convincing the 356 Registry that we could make it happen in a safe, fair and fun way. We did it thanks to more than fifteen hard working volunteers (Mostly East Bay Greasers) and the great folks who raced their beloved 356's between the pylons. We even had a Gmund coupe and Carrera out there. Very cool!
Thanks also go out to Jim Breazeale of EASY and Alan Klingen of The Stable.
I am told that this was the first autocross ever held by the Registry. Way to go guys and gals!
Congrats to our winners Jim Derch in the Men's Divsions and Candyce Jensen in the Women's Division, but actually congrats to all of you first-timers and old-timers. We did over 220 laps!
Dan Macdonald, Autocross MiniMeister
