I see the posts for AX events in Riverside and San Diego counties, but I don't see much happening in Los Angeles County. Am I missing something?

To have an AX, the first thing you need is a place to hold it. Across the country, lots large enough to hold an AX that are available are few and far between.

Like Staples, LA Convention Center, Big-ED (I know its OC, but the Angles don't think so), GW Forum or Dodger Stadium???? Not to mention Long Beach stuff.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Rose Bowl and Coliseum too.

...and they can't cost the local organizer (SCCA, etc.) an arm or leg to rent for the day/weekend.

I don't know if I would want to go to Inglewood. I know that there is a couple of car clubs here in Kern county that rent a portion of Shafter airport once in awhile to run their cars. It might be worthwhile to contact some of the small airfields.

The San Diego autocross is held at a location that you might think would be costly. Qualcomm Stadium is the only large stadium in San Diego and its not in a remote or crummy location. It may be expensive, but they might have enough people showing up to pay for it.

The same would probably be true here in LA. There's probably a TON of people who would attend an autocross. There are a lot of potential AXers in Orange county too I imagine.

Hey Joe, I just answered this on the bird board (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Closest one I know is put on by PCA Santa Barbara region at the Camarillo airport, right down the street from our WCC 05 Hotel. The other alternative is POC Short Track series at Streets of Willow. IIRC $50 for the AX, $150ish for the 2 day Willow.

PCA GPX region holds two AX a year at Streets of Willow. It's the Day Away From Work AX and it's held on a Monday in May and again in Oct. about $100. and as you can imagine you get a lot of track time on a Monday.

Oh, and I got First in Class last Oct. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Calclub SCCA has some AXes at Hollywood Park (none on the schedule yet this year). SCCA also runs at Norton AFB and California Speedway.

So is it worth it to try and organize something like this? Combine the social nature of Joe Sharp's BBQs with a little friendly competition?

When I left So. Cal. in 1979 the smog kept us from having any kind of event! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Except when I drove PCA TT at RIR in 76/77/78 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Good luck anyway, I also found it tough to find any type of A/X. Did do 3 at UCR! Boy am I old!!!!!!

We should set up an AX around the block at Joe's house. I don't think his neighbors would mind...much. Then again I used to know a few guys at Huntington Beach PD and maybe that ain't such a good idea. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) What was I thinking?
