Cal Club Autocross Forums

Four Points Sheraton still has rooms for $70/night. I guess it is only 3 miles from the site, based on what they told me??

Tom, when we stayed down there for the Pro, we stayed at the Trabuco Canyon County Park's campground. It was reasonable, fairly quiet, level sites, "park like" and had water/electricity. Actually, a number of autocrossers stay out there...Hollis, Goeke, McKee and others. Some Walmarts in m...

Family mini vacation. Hitting Sea World and the Zoo before the race.

I guess this is where I say..."oh"..."nevermind, then"...

When I brought my RV down to SD in 2007, half the fun was staying in the paddock area and having a place to hang out with friends during the day, bbq'ing at night etc. The only downside was the light rail noise, but that wasn't too bad. And, it cost exactly zero...why the heck you going to pay to st...

Have you seen the recent photos she did for SI???!!!

I don't think getting "20-25 minutes" should be too difficult...

If it is at Wendover, count me in. I don't know why you guys are so excited about El Toro, so much so as to want a second Pro there...place chews up tires and smells like a landfill... :lol: JK, it is a great site for course designers to play with and has lots of (very abrasive) grip. We don't noti...

I think it would be a good step for you to more fully explore those feelings...

^ I agree...Jason doesn't know shxt... :P Seriously, Packwood is a blast, if you are at all an outdoor oriented person. My wife and I spent a day on Ranier, last summer, hiking and followed by a great lunch at the National Park lodge, and it was way cool. There's tons to do around the area, as long ...

All I can tell you is there are a LOT of moving pieces in this story...some would argue too many.

It is a bummer, no matter to what you attribute the cancellation.

Maybe the GGF analogy was a little extreme, I was just surprised that the surface was the way it was, I was thinking it was going to be grippier and less gravelly...it is very true that it is not old and degrading like GGF. Is the outside lot better? I've driven GGF, Fontana isn't anything like that...

Mike ... have you run on our usual Green Lot (ex Lot 12)? That's were almost all of our events are ... if we're not running at El Toro. Green Lot is awesome, in size ... with a nice bit of elevation change ... but a little on the low grip side. We are blessed with that lot! Speed Ventures does occa...

Have you guys run much on that infield location? While I liked what was done with the space/course design and had a blast, I can best describe the surface as "Golden Gate Fields-South"...we had, basically, zero forward bite on acceleration and the large, exposed aggregate and gravel build ...

Thanks to all for putting on such a well organized practice event. It was great to see so many of my SoCal friends and I'll look forward to seeing you guys at SD and El Toro (hopefully!).

Thanks for the info, guys. I hope to run SD/El Toro, but probably won't if FS doesn't make a class. Anyone running FS this year? Mike I haven't seen anyone run FS Nationally from Cal Club since Scott McHugh in his Firebird 7-8 yrs ago. You bringing your Mustang Mike? Yep, I'm bringing the Mustang t...

Will there be access to the site on Friday afternoon? I'll be leaving NorCal early enough to be down there by 4-5pm.

Thanks.

I'm looking forward to running with Cal Club this weekend at the practice event. Hopefully, it won't rain too much, as that will kind of mess up our plans. Does the site drain ok? Actually, while I'm asking questions, I have two more, if anyone can help me out: 1. I'm staying at the Hyatt Place (hey...

Is it possible that NorCal took top PAX at all three divisional events? The region that doesn't even have a PAX class? hmmmmm....interesting.

Thanks. I think I may have found one locally.

If anyone has a single 225/45-15 A6 in good shape (like, under 60 runs) kicking around (Tim?), please let me know.

Thanks,
Mike Wood

^I think there's more to the story...

What I can't believe is that Rick hasn't had any real offers for his car, yet...I'm sure he's willing to talk on price, too.

things that go BUMP

run with the big dogs (or kick the Col's bootie :D ), no problems Really? Then maybe YOU better buy this car, take the "XP" off of your car and put it on Rick's car...maybe THEN you might have a chance to "kick the Col's bootie". :mrt: You know I just threw that in there to make...

A friend here in NorCal, Rick Gould, needs to sell his CSP car. Many of you National CSP guys/gals know this car, it is an absolute sweetheart...add the new 13" Hoosiers and run with the big dogs (or kick the Col's bootie :D ), no problems. I don't have all the details, yet, but here's the basi...
