Let Summer Begin Autocross Practice

El Toro Field

About this event

With summer upon us, it can only mean one thing to Southern California autocrosser's.......the return to El Toro. Thankfully, it hasn't disappeared from our schedule yet! With a combination of wonderful course conditions, central location, and great weather, it's still the best site in Southern California for an autocross. No wonder this site is so popular! As usual, the return to El Toro means demand will be high for practice time. Sign-up early for the best shot at getting in as this event will probably sell-out. In the event of a sell-out, Autocross Sunday participants with a permanent number (points card) will be given priority.

What to Expect
As usual, you can expect a world class course specially prepared by the CSCC team. We're looking for one hundred drivers to come out and join in. We expect to get the usual 12 runs each, maybe more, though it's not guaranteed. With June highs averaging 78 degrees, the course and weather conditions should be ideal. We may not be able to accomodate everyone who will want to attend. In the event of a sell-out, Autocross Sunday participants with a permanent number (points card) will be given priority. Expect to see the entry list posted two weeks prior to the event.

Who are we?
Your hosts for the event are the volunteers who make up the California Sports Car Club (CSCC), a not for profit club assembled for the sole purpose of organizing world class autocross events in the Cal Club Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). Organizers are non-paid volunteers. All participants will be required to perform a normal work assignment as your contribution to the event.

We'll Have Food!  
Oh yeah! Come hungry. Rodrigo of OC Catering will bring out the gourmet food truck for breakfast and lunch. Ask for George's Special Burrito. It's grrreat!

Hey.....Don't Forget Your Water!
It can get hot out there. Be sure to keep hydrated. The night before, put 7 or 8 bottles of water in the freezer. Kept in a small cooler, you'll have a supply of cold water all day long.

When you arrive
Come through the main gate on Marine Way. Turn right at the stop sign and follow the road to the end. Turn left when you see the SCCA sign. Be sure to observe the 25 speed limit while inside the facility. Be sure to sign the event waiver at the entrance to our area. Park your car in any open spot and come to registration for check-in. After registering, proceed to the tech area so your car and helmet can be approved. Be sure allow enough time for a course walk. That's it........you're ready to go.

No Overnight Camping
There is no overnight camping allowed on this site. However, personal belongings, including vehicles, may remain overnight. The site is fully fenced and the gates will be closed and locked when we leave for the night.  Everything must be removed by the time we leave on Sunday. Neither Cal Club nor the event site will be responsible for damaged, lost or stolen property.

VERY IMPORTANT!
As with any venue, we want to make a good impression on our landlords.  With that in mind, please use the receptacles for your trash and do not leave trash anywhere on site.  Also, have respect for the neighbors and drive carefully both inside and outside the site.
