I think you have to get in touch with the individual contingencies to find out. I know Kumho is going to pay out for SK1/2, but I only know that because Morgan talked to the Kumho rep directly.

I haven't looked prior to posting, but several companies name the specific classes they pay out in. VW and Subaru come to mind. I think Honda just says Honda powered products, and then has minimum number of entrants in class to qualify. That said I think the fact that these are one time supplemental classes may make it an uphill battle.

Guys and Gals,

We're getting close to the nasty price increase. You don't want to miss the Pro Solo. It's the most fun you can have in a car with your pants on...

I asked the same on the previous page. When I didn't get an answer, I mailed Tom Berry, who replied:
I will check it out... In the past we could park stuff at El Toro. Pretty sure its the same gig but I will get back to you on that.

Anyone need a class filler for the Pro? The clutch on the S2000 is going bad, and at this rate, I don't have the time or funds to get it fixed before the Pro. It looks like several classes need a couple warm(ish) bodies to fill for the class, so I'm happy to help!

Actually, I wouldn't mind joining you guys in D-Stock if someone's willing to give me a ride for a co-drive. :D

Storage is available between the Tour and Pro at El Toro. Same deal as last year, a nominal $25 bucks to park you rig there for the whole week. Sounds like a bargain to me!

Hi all.....new to this forum - coming down from Vancouver, B.C.

But have a few questions...

So no camping on site - where do the racers with motorhomes stay ? Is there and RV Park close by ?

What about hotels close by that is trailer/rig/dog friendly ?

Don, you can leave your rig onsite. As it happens there is hotel and trailer park just outside the entrance to El Toro. If you click on the map on the that is on the registration page, you can zoom in. Everything is labeled. If you put the cursor on the label, it identifies the property in more detail. Hope this helps.

Just to confirm. I talked to Kumho today. ONLY national SCCA classes are eligible from Kumho.
NO SK1 or 2.

Boohoo

Subaru stopped paying 2-3 years ago .
