This is a two day racing event that takes place at El Toro Marine Corps Air Station. This year's event will be held March 9-11.

you're not related to that "Bill" guy, are you??!!! :D

I'll be there!



************** just giving fair warning************



:rofl:

How many runs will we get at the autocross and road course? Is there a cap on the entries? How many?
Thanks,
Brian

I only have lap belts; can I autocross all day? no road course.

Rules are posted on their site.

Sorry for any confusion with my previous post, I read the rules, I do not have a 3pt seat belt so I cannot compete on the road course. I would like to know if I can autocross all day.

If it's not specifically addresssed in the rules, I lean towards yes. I'm sure Bill will chime in soon.

Rules
 

I understood it as you would be able to "compete" in all events, but the group without the added saftey devices would run the road course with some adde chicanes to slow things down.

Hey guys. Registration has been opened for two days and we are almost full. I swear, I think we could fill a seven day event at El Toro. If you miss this event, don't worry, we will have another one a little further north, announcement soon!

Lap belt only will be allowed to run, just at a reduced speed on the roadcourse. However, to answer the question, yes, you could autocross all day if you like.:thumbsup:

Jody, yes, Jessica is my oldest daughter. She is helping out now that we have gone nationwide...haha

Entries are limited to 70 cars per day. However, we do have better timing for the road course now, so more cars at a time and less down time timing everyone. I hate to guess or estimate runs, but I know everyone ran all the autocross laps they could stand last year and with the new timing equipment this year, I am hoping the road course will be the same.

Just registered Blu Balz for this event! Gonna have a blast watching it go down the track!! The owner might now be able to make it down to the event.. so I might have to drive it! Yeah right!

Awesome thank you!

I registered for both days. This is going to be fun! :D

Sent my money out yesterday. I'll be there for both days.

Are spectators allowed? What about volunteers? I'm on my phone trying to read the site but its not possible so I had to ask.

I would also like to come watch and hang out.

TTt for the last two questions.

What?!?! You just want to come bug me some more???:rofl: :rofl:


I can't answer the question -- I just wanted to bust your chops.


Might post up and ask if you can be "crew" for someone!

I'm sure you guys are welcome. There were plenty of people last year there hanging out and watching.

I think I saw a $5 'car show' spectator charge on PT. I'll look for the link and post it up ...

I figured you would get lonely behind the timing table at the auto-x.

That would be fine. I only have a few hours to pop in and out this year. I really want to see dse mustang in person.

Dse
 

DSE is not going to be at RTTC this year.

Guess that means I'm moving up two spots. :D

Todd, check on being a contigency sponsor for them, since you run their stuff.

Better yet -- bring the right tires.

Good call Stuart. :thumbsup:

Happy just putting around in exibition.

The new RFID system worked really well for the road course at RTTA... Can't get much simpler than that from what I saw.

Todd.... I'm bringing the Mustang down -- with Hosier R6's... :lol: but WTH... it doesn't qualify as a street car regardless....

What, DSE isn't going? Todd is running in exhibition? Guess I'm moving up three spots :D

Mike, where did you get your info?

:lol:

I was on the phone with them about some parts and possibly picking them up when they come out for RTTC. I see in the recent days they have changed their mind. I'm glad to see they are coming out for it. Even though I move down a couple spots with them running. Still glad DSE will attend. And I stand corrected.

Mike, the only reason I knew was because Stephen told me yesterday. :D :thumbsup:

I am seriously considering flying down to Bakersfield and then hitching a ride down to this event.
Besides the fact it would be nice to meet all of you guys, is it worth my time as a spectator?
Are you allowed to ride along with some of the competitors?

Kevin, Orange County Race Craft that hosts the event stipulated that passengers aren't allowed on the road course, unless an instructor is giving them a ride. The autocross is a completely different story. You could stand in the staging lane and bum rides off of people all day long!

Matt

I have room in my BBT (Big Bouncy Truck) if you get to Bakersfield...

Like Nike says -- Just do it!

If you SMOKE - then fugidaboudit.... :D

haha ok i'll dooo it!

email me...

My name as on here @ comcast.net

I think you'll be glad you came down. :thumbsup:
