Default Auto cross anyone?

Lots of Vet's and Vipers to play with.

The organizers of this series love American iron, so they tend to make big sweeping layouts.

Lot's of Speed.

No membership required and tech inspections on site.

Usually at least five runs.

Castle Air Force Base.

I've run there in SCCA events and the grip on the concrete surface is incredible. That said, I find the steering of our beloved 928's way too slow for the average autox course, and we have HUGE courses at Qualcomm Stadium.
