El Toro would be a great spot. I picture a smaller "tight" autocross combined with a larger "fast" autocross. I've seen cars hit 90 mph at autocrosses there since there's so much room.

Here's an example of a 2.2 MILE autocross they do there... yea, 2.2 FREAKING MILES! lol

This is way cool Steve,,,,, I spoke with Bill last night and I'm in for sure with multiple cars bud ;-).....

Guess my White 73TA may end up being a west coast queen for a season LOL (man has Chris Gonzola's got some work ahead of him to put that car right LOL)

We will start wrenching on the 73TA as soon as it arrives @ the shop!! It will make a great West Coast car for you to have out here Albert.. We will make sure that we have it attending a few events, Goodguys Del Mar & Costa Mesa with West Coast RTTH!!

El Toro would be great. As long as we are not on the road, count us in.

If the track is available, I am looking at Sept. 3-5, Labor day is the 6th.

Holley is then.. also too close to RTTH.

Sometime in August. Most likely to be right with our Super Chevy vendor test deal we do each year (since they are here anyways).

I'm in.

Have you looked at any of the Road course tracks on the West Coast? Then you could do some drag racing, some road course and autocross. Just curious. I have been thinking we need a West coast event for a while.

The problem is that they are all out in "ehh" areas.. Plus in August the weather at El Toro would be 100% better than either Buttonwillow or Willow Springs.

At El Toro we can have it all.. possibly even some sort of single car drag event or 0-100-0 deal.

And the location is NICE. Surrounded by good areas where you don't have to worry about leaving your car out overnight.

And a big enough autocross (like that video) is 95% as good as any road course.
