Here is a short video I put together with different angles and their benefits.

Its not as clean, but here is an initial map for Santa Anita

I have a partly done course if someone would like to work together with some of the ideas on paper and be the course designer for the November event. If people have objections or questions about how the process works please reply here. We have options for Saturday morning early setup, although I pre...

It doesnt prevent you from earning champsionship points. A driver may take an average for a single event per year to coach in the first session.

seems like you could deflate it and try for 35 psi, or however much it will do in 10 min, since they all seem to be able to handle that.

I use the larger 12v version but it's nice to see the small one has a metal piston.

As long as it's a full sized suction mount I'm sure it's fine. This rule was probably from pre gopro days.

Thank you, Christine, Tom, et al. For designing and setting up a very interesting and fun course.

I was especially fond of the long left before the pin turn right into the finish. Effective cone placement requiring looking well ahead to remain on line and at the proper aggression.

Need a map to get started? Here is a blank course at AAA. The pink dots are areas we try to avoid due to pavement breakup or bumps.

Have you ever thought about being a course designer but didnt know where to start? Start here! We are looking for people interested in making a course design. All that is required is pencil, paper and an imagination! I'm happy to help provide the skills, advice and encouragement necessary to see you...

You will be missed. It's been a pleasure to coach you over the years and see you succeed. Best wishes on your new career.

This is indeed a well prepped, mechanically sound car.

This guy put a e46 abs in his miata. I'm guessing he spent less than the car...

Hello! I'm a newcomer and I haven't autocrossed since 2008. This will be my first in more than 10 years. I am interested in volunteering for the gate work but will this be OK? My concern is missing the driver's meeting, etc. I am only registered for Saturday practice. Please advise.Thanks! Are you ...

They dont make off road slicks in that size.

While not a sound violation, it would be an unsportsmanlike violation.

Howard....your Z06 won't be a problem. If your buddy's car is a problem, we'll do what we can to resolve the issue (but I can't imagine any Corvette being all that loud unless highly modified). The rules outlined here are inline with National level events, and they aren't typically kicking cars out...

What's it like out there?

What will happen if you register a high db? Will it be instant disqualification and go home. Or will you be given opportunity to modify driving at meter (reduce throttle) DH At solo2.com under membership and supplemental requirements it says 4.11 SOUND CONTROL Purpose: Our primary purpose is to pre...

Hello all! I have a 1995 BMW 318ti that is stock except for a welded replacement muffler past the rear axle. I checked the rulebook and my search only showed F Street prepared. Can I possibly get more clarification on what class I can be in? Thanks! Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Pg 195 in...

The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI Type 2 sound meter set to “A” weighting, “Slow” response. The microphone will be 3 to 4 feet above g...

Most if not all stock cars pass fine. Except for gt350R mustangs.

Keep in mind most trailer couple locks are terrible. Something like this works better. https://www.provenlocks.com/collections/2-5-16-tailer-coupler-locks But not with the lock that comes with it becuase it can be subject to drilling attacks. There are better steel bodied locks without the issue. Ot...

What is the testing method for the 93 db limit? Distance of testing device, angle, engine rpm, etc? The measurement will be taken at a point where the vehicle can reasonably be expected to be under load at full throttle. The measuring point will be 50 feet from the edge of the course using an ANSI ...

Megasquirt has traction control built in to the programming... so, included in the price of an ecu you could solider together if you were looking to save money. And if there were newer cars in c prepared with abs...


Now, full stability control... that would be nuts. Agreed.

Back for the third straight year, we are excited to help promote our sport and give back to our region's members with a Solo Nationals scholarship program. Two scholarships will be available to Cal Club Autocross members, one restricted to first-time Solo Nationals competitors and the other open to ...
