Jun 29th Alpine AutoX (Big Bear, Charity)
Alpine AutoX Jun 29th (Big Bear, Charity)
(hey mods, can I get this stickied)
On Sunday Jun 29th JayCom Services and the CalClub Solo2 group are teaming up for a return Alpine AutoX at the Big Bear City Airport.
This will be our annual charity AutoX practice and we’ll be donating proceeds to Ability First of Long Beach, who provides recreational programs for the mentally delayed. We've annually held events for them in Fontana, but this year that venue didn't work out.
Once again there will be NO WORK assignments for this event. Thank your friendly CSU-Fullerton FSAE student! Volenteers are always welcome.
The event will have a causal practice type attitude to it. But, to keep things interesting we are adding a small competition element for a couple hours. Base classes are Street, Prep and Race, but we'll break out more classes as cars can be grouped together (i.e. CST, or even 'Miatas' class).
Here's the link to registration and lots of details
https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/bi ... -ii-591847
Single Entry pre-reg just $60. Share and entry with a second driver is +$25. Day of reg is +$15. Non-SCCA members can purchase a weekend membership onsite ($15).
Expect a 50+second course and 16+ runs. 60 driver entry limit.
This is an SCCA event. Non Snell 2000 or better helmets required (limited loaners available). There will be a tech inspection, make sure your car is safe before coming!
It's quite cool and beautiful up there:

As of now its unlikely the Ability First clients will actually be at the Jun 29 event. But I think they're working on coming out to the July 5th El Toro practice for meet/greet and ride alongs.

Okay, you've all had your fun at El Toro. Time to get it done in Big Bear!Jayson Woodruff wrote:(hey mods, can I get this stickied)
Just a few registrations so far. I don't really expect to sell out (50), but appreciate early registrations so I can start head counting.
Did I mention NO WORK and FOR CHARITY.
Also there's those awsome extra long AutoX laps up and down the mountain.

Reg on up. Still light on numbers, but do-able. I'm bringing the RallyMiata (on road tires and lowered a bit).
I just got off the phone with the Airport manager, since this is a charity event they've cut the lot fee in half. So more $$ for the charity!
No Work, All play, there isn't a better deal in AutoX.

Re: Jun 29th Alpine AutoX (Big Bear, Charity)
One week to the Big Bear AutoX event. Entries are fairly low, but right now we're just about the break even point. I'm hoping to get a little rush of entries so we can build up a little cash of the AbilityFirst charity.
'No Work' events are very rare, don't let this one pass you by. Plus, expecting an increadable amount of seat time.
Then there's that weather. Sunday shows 95 in fontana, 84 at El Toro and just 75 in Big Bear (low of 39 tonight!, bring a jacket).

Anybody have a place to stay with an extra bed.... &/or interested in getting a place to stay, & sharing costs on Sat night.
I have an in with the company that used to handle our Big Bear rentals, should be able to get a deceit deal.

Re: Jun 29th Alpine AutoX (Big Bear, Charity)
BTW, last call to pre-reg. ends tonight.
There still plenty of room for walk ups, but a slight up charge.
Just finished setting up the course, should be a blast. Felt really, really long, but is rather average time and about .8miles.

I've always registered, and immediately checked to make sure I'm on the attendees list. Maybe it's different with a paid event? But SCCA Nat events have been good too.... guess I've just been lucky in the past.Jayson Woodruff wrote:There's always as delay in MotorSportsReg. Your in there now. Jay W

Re: Jun 29th Alpine AutoX (Big Bear, Charity)
AWESOME EVENT!!!!
Thank you Jayson, Mike, Nic, Warren, Seb, & all of the Cal State Fullerton FSAE guys who spent so many hours in the sun. While I only took a total of 10 runs, could have probably squeezed another 3-4 runs in if I wanted too. A few of us went to the Airport cafe for lunch... good food, not cheap, very slow..... could have gotten even another 2 runs in if we fast food / brown bagged it.
All in all,
Excellent course: A double cross over, with two trips around the course per lap before crossing the finish. Run times ran between 66 & 80 sec depending on driver ability & cars. My best was a 67.5 in Pete's car (someone claimed I had a cone... but there was no radio call on it) and a 68.9 in my own.
No work: Cal State Fullerton FSAE shagged cones all day with Warren & Nic chipping in, Mike and Jayson as starter / timing duty respectfully all day.
Beautiful & spirited drive up and down the mountain: on the way up EVERY car I caught took the 1st turn out available till I caught an idiot at the dam who never pulled over and cruised all the way into town at 10-20 under the posted.... Down wasn't perfect, but better than average for the 18/330.
Nap in once home all before 6pm. Will definitely have to consider again next year.
Only regret, left the go-pro at home, so I couldn't take footage AX'ing with the lovely background.

That would be me, and Nic and Seb and a few others standing around.. Wasn't 'called' because we were back in practice mode at that point.Craig Naylor wrote: My best was a 67.5 in Pete's car (someone claimed I had a cone... but there was no radio call on it)
It was the last gate toward the finish to the outside.
Great times today, I need a little time to gather wits and do some accounting then I'll come up with a bigger summary. Best the Corvettes could do on Saturday was almost bested today on the first car out.
