The Lowend Cup was created in 2018 as a series within a series for regulars at @pca_chicago autocross, @Porsche and non-Porsche owners alike. It takes participation in 4 of the 5 annual events to qualify. For scoring we use @sccaofficial Solo Pax Index. The driver with the best pax time is awarded a 100 points per event, each driver behind has points deducted based on how much slower their best run was compared to the leader. With a shortened season in 2021, each driver must have completed all four events. 13 drivers qualified, with three driving BMW, Infiniti and Volkswagen, the rest were Porsches. In order of placing, the top ten are Bill ‘Reaper’ Fitzsimmons @reaperracing288 Buz Browne, Jenna Samp, Noel Selewa, Tim Crowley, Gordon Zhao @gordonbydesign Chris Racelis, Brian Jackson @pixitake Don Kreienbrink and Phil Kivarkis. The Reaper is the first repeat Cup winner. As of this posting, the Cup party is in full swing and the winners have been announced. The action will return to Winturst Field in April.

After this past weekend’s @checkeditoutchicago Toy Drive, Drive, Lowend hit 2000 followers. It’s obvious we could not have done this without you and especially without your participation outside of this app at our drives and events! Thank you, to celebrate we’d like to flashback with the help of @markaphotog’s lense to the @hagerty CARnivale at @autobahncc No Membership Required, Nor Offered. ✌🏼 We are just hours away from the return of The Lowend Cup garage party. Not since 2019 have we had a Cup party, though the garage was a haven during the pandemic. Tonight, as we announce the top five Cup drivers at the party, we will post the results here. Stay tuned. #lowendcup #toydrivedrive #getoutanddrive #takethecar #lowendontheroad #check21 #carnivale #nomembershiprequired (at Autobahn Country Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXWRClDlPxM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tomorrow’s Drive to the Rock will be here before you know it. We are going to close the RSVPs at 3pm today. Those who rsvp will get a ticket for our Chapman Manufacturing kit drawing, at the end destination in Hyde Park. Other than the Lowend RSVPs being mostly @porsche there are a few @mercedesbenz owners in the mix. This event is open to all makes and models. Let’s look at a 3.2 Carrera Targa owned by David Meyer. @omnilightinc David is coming out for the drive tomorrow and was on track at @autobahncc during @hagerty’s inaugural CARnivale.

Have you heard of the Rock? Did you know that the first American auto race was held in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day in 1865? To commemorate the race the American Autosport Centennial Committee commissioned ‘The Rock’ in 1995 to mark the start and finish of the race in Jackson Park. Six cars entered the race, four gasoline powered and two electric, which took them North to Evanston and back. Internal combustion driver J. Frank Duryea won the race in 7 hours and 53 minutes. That’s really cookin’! @carsandcoffeeoakpark have been doing their own drive to the Rock on Thanksgiving Day. We were lucky enough to join them on last year’s run. Sign up to join us for this year’s Drive to the Rock. Drivers that RSVP (link in bio) will be entered into a drawing for our upcoming Chapman Manufacturing Co. collaboration, automotive micro tool set ($90 Dollar Value). Must be present to win.
