SoCal Autocross Guide

[Chad-1stGen]

I decided to put together a SoCal Autocross Guide of all the autocross options in Southern California. Now that I am pretty familiar with the options its easy for me to find the info I want but I remember just a year or two ago doing lots of online searches to figure this out and thought a one stop shop would be helpful.

I've got a much more detailed write up on my blog if you want to learn more about any of these events or see videos of what a typical course looks like. In the mean time here is a summarized version:
