It was a foggy, cold, and altogether fore-
boding morning. The doomed gathered for
a last wander around the decked out cars
and ogled those really odd looking driving
suits. Welcome to the umpteenth annual
Trick or Cross Autocross!
Sixty-some hearty (foolhardy perhaps?)
souls turned up for the event and were
delighted to learn that there were 2 courses

to run on and they would get in 6 runs during the day. Costume contests were held at
the beginning; everything from the laundry

ing around the parking area to the Royal

Course maps were handed out, the secret

maps to the twisted mazes laid out by
King Henry and one of his wives taking
the stroll.
The weather brightened and the day turned
into as lovely a Halloween as we’ve seen
although as participants went through their
paces screams and tire screeches and I’m
sure some naughty words were heard.

Well it’s the day after the tour and I am
happy to report that the tour went without
a hitch.
It started at Panera Bread in
Stapleton Plaza.
I drove into the parking
lot at 1:05pm, after a harrowing drive
through traffic on 83, to Porsche upon
Porsche parked all around.
There were a
total of 17 cars in all, five 986s, one 914,
two 944s, one 356, seven 911s and one
Mercedes ML320, what a great mix of
gorgeous cars.
We got somewhat split up
getting out of the parking lot, but by the
time we reached the Ward exit of I70 and
with a little patience we were all together.
We drove on Hwy 72 all the way to Ward
and then over to Boulder via some back
paved roads.
Out of Boulder we took Hwy
119 to Hwy 46 and Golden Gate Canyon
Road to Golden.
