Prepping for the Pro Autocross Practice

 

Prepping for the Pro

Autocross Practice Hosted by the E-Board

March 22, 2014

It's that time of year, Pro Solo time is here. This is the last opportunity to practice on the fabulous El Toro surface before the Pro Solo to be held here April 12-13 with the practice starts and welcome party Friday, April 11. If you've never been to a Pro Solo, read this and this. It truly is a blast! Because this is primarily a warm-up to the Pro Solo, a priority system is in place for this event. But don't be detered. With more that 12 hours of sunlight available, we'll be able to accomodate a large number of entrants.  

What to Expect
For this event, you can expect a world class course especially prepared by the Cal Club team. With daytime highs averaging 70 degrees, the weather should be perfect for an autocross.    

We'll Have Food!  
Oh yeah! Come hungry. Rodrigo of OC Catering will bring out the gormet food truck for breakfast and lunch. Ask for the Carne Asada Burrito. It's wonderful! 

Hey.....Don't Forget Your Water!
It can get hot out there, even in March. If not hot, then it's dry. Keep hydrated. The night before, throw 5 or 6 bottles of water in the freezer. Kept in a small cooler, you'll have a supply of cold water all day just in case.

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.
