Does any one know of any AutoX events this summer in the OC, San Diego or LA area? Thanks :beer:
+1. Been to plenty road course events, want to start playing with some AutoX in SoCal.
California Sports Car Club - Solo - LA/OC - they run at Auto Club Speedway
San Diego Region - Sport Car Club of America - SD area - they run their events out at Qualcomm Stadium
truth be told, i like road course events better. cone dodging is fine to learn techniques. road courses is where you refine them.
Oh I agree Damon. I'm going to Willow Springs next weekend ;-) But AutoX is fun too and a lot cheaper so you can run more often :thumbsup:
Mannyf and Damon, thanks for the heads up regarding Auto Club Speedway and Qualcomm. I went to Santa Anita park in Arcadia a few weeks ago for a day of horse racing and I heard/saw what looked like Auto X going on in the parking lot nearby. Also, I've been at the Great Park before in Irvine and heard what I thought was AutoX going on on the runway nearby as well. Anyone know anything about those two spots?
Info I just found about the Great Park (old El Toro airfield)...

If you do autox it is a humbling experience. I used to autox for about 8 years. Speeds are usually under 60mph, it chews up tires and you run in one session and chase cones in another session. You usually get 3 runs of around 1 minutes on the course for a total of 3 minutes. I haven't been in about 8 years.
