Them's fightin' words says...
Rick Brown. Partial story on SCCA's site:
El TORO, Calif., (April 2, 2009) – The Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo National Series kicked off at the El Toro Air Force Base, just south of Los Angeles, on March 28 – 29. Under the sunny California skies, it was the course designer himself, Tom Berry, who walked away with the top prize.
The AMCI Drive Center facility at the El Toro Air Force Base gave Berry more than enough room to work with when laying out the first ProSolo courses of the season. Drivers were blessed with long challenging runs in the 40-second range, but more than a few competitors were caught out by Berry’s tricky cone sections.

The Berry name shows up 11 times (once more in the title).
I wonder if my Hoosier will get faster by resting in Tom's trailer, I hope so.

But it has Richard's by line on it.

Re: Them's fightin' words says...
Of course it's technically the former MCAS El Toro. Active ops are now at MCAS Miramar (formally Naval Air Station Miramar). I guess it's really The Great Park at El Toro now.Giovanni Jaramillo wrote:yes i was going to say that because even I when publishing the event schedule note that it's at El Toro MCAS (Marine Corp Air Station).Jason Isley BS RX8 wrote:Hold your fire, we don't supply the content for the SCCA webite.Rick Brown wrote: Hmmmm, the SportsCar publishing offices are local right?

Hey, hey... I just gave them a photo, I didn't write the story. And, for the record, I don't work for SportsCar any more. But feel free to fire on Jason if necessary.
