    September 25 - AutoX @ EL Toro

    Sounds like there might be a couple of us heading out there. It will be my first time doing auto-x, and would be nice to have some other novices out there to pad my ego.




    If you are hesitant about doing track days in fear of damaging your car, the safe, friendly, stationary object-less autocross might be your best option to exploit the performance capabilities of your car.

    Hope to see some other SoCalEvo'ers out there!

    Sign up here: https://www.motorsportreg.com/events...6#.V8HOGJgrK9g

    OH YEAH, IT'S CHEAP TOO. JUST $30

    So no excuses. Get out there and have fun, safely, in your Evo, your Prius, your '70s Custom Van, whatever.

    "alright, alright, alright"

    Also, this might be the last event they hold at El Torro due to the housing track construction in the great park...I think.

    El Toro is pretty cool, they've been saying that it "might" be the last El Toro event for the last few events. I think there it's safe for the time being, I don't think the housing construction market is really be in the swing of things since 2008.

    Here is a video of Tom Berry driving my Evo there, I'd highly recommend trying to get him to give some pointers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAGpEZRW74g

    I've registered for both the event and the practice on Saturday, hopefully I'll make the event list. I'd recommend doing the Saturday practice as well as you'll get a lot more runs than during the Sunday event.

    Just an FYI for anyone planning on going, Cal Club auto-x events are work/run format so expect to go out on the tarmac for an hour or so to replace cones that get knocked over. so like... water and sun-screen

    yea... i just checked the registration. I'm profoundly disappointed. You can redeem yourself by giving me a ride.

    P.S. I was totally not looking at them on craigslist yesterday
