"Farewell El Toro" Autocross Practice

El Toro Marine Base

About this event

Solo, or autocross, is a low speed, timed, handling event set up as a small road course lined with orange traffic cones on a large parking lot or aircraft taxi way. The emphasis is on handling and car control and the courses are laid out so that the top speed is limited to what would be encountered during normal driving. 

Saturday practices are open to all SCCA members and are capacity controlled to ensure maximum value. If you’re not an SCCA member, you can purchase an SCCA weekend membership during the checkout process or in person at the event. Cost is $15.
