PCA SDR

We've searched places to drive and they are dwindling.
El Toro is gone now, Fontana is a long drive. Sheriff's training center still not constructed in Otay Mesa.
HOWEVER - we are in final negotiations with the Lake Elsinore Storm Stadium and have just set dates.
This fall we have two AX's set - on Saturday Oct. 2 and Sunday Dec. 5 - - with a PDS Nov. 20 and 21. These dates were set to be at least 2 weekends away from our track events.
Lake Elsinore is not that bad a drive for north county folks.
The stadium lot has quite nice pavement and has their restaurant open on the weekends.
Stay tuned for more info but MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

And if you get bored between run groups, Skydive Elsinore is close.

Thanks Bill to you and team.

Be well.

Are there noise limitations at Elsinore?

Signed up for SCCA in June at Lake Hellsinor, posted limit is 93 dB.
My Boxster still has a muffler.

Jad - Yes there is a noise limit of 93 db.

However - I'm bad -out of respect for you and your driving AND because you like challenges - I put into the Lake Elsinore contract a db limit for YOU to keep you within striking distance of beating you in the BRI.

So: Tesla Model 3 Performance = 67.2 dB at 80km/h I was gracious and set it at 68db. Enjoy the challenge!

Pure Track focused on the Lake E stadium and the Anaheim baseball stadium - the two exclusively. Seemed to work well for them. I've been out of the autocross arena for quite some time...but still observe from the peanut gallery. With this in mind, I want to offer sincere THANKS and APPRECIATION to Bill and any/all of his cohorts that have so diligently searched for a new site. Great work!! Eventually our annual Big Bash will happen again, and my suggestion is that Bill and Team should be awarded a Major Accomplishment Medal...perhaps with a V for Valor, but for sure a P for Persistence!!

All honors to Bill for finding a new AX venue. Satellite views show 3 lots at the Stadium at 500 Diamond Dr. May we assume that we will use the largest one (overflow parking C)? Members should be aware that there is a long-standing CHP speed trap on the I15 between Escondido and the truck scales. It is used for training and frequently has more than one radar setup. Ask me how I know. Bill, thanks for giving us enough time to shop for tires and helmets.

That's great news. Too bad I have moved to Austin
Going to see if I can make it for the PDS in Nov

@JayG, I've got no sympathy for someone that's 30 minutes from COTA!

More like an hour from Lago Vista and COTA is expensive. Hill Country PCA does a couple of DE's at COTA and they run $1,100 for 3 days. The SDR events are a bargain!!!

I was at COTA in Oct for the SCCA pro F3/4 championships doing some in car video. Its a beautiful track and I got to do 1 lap in the pace car so I could check our radios. I look forward to driving it in my car one of these days.

There are a bunch of tracks within a 4 hour drive as well. Once we get finished unpacking and settling in, I will check out the local PCA and some of the tracks. One I want to do is a rallycross track about an hour away. They even rent cars pretty cheaply

Hey All,

So now I drive about an hour to Bremerton, WA for a monthly autocross on an old airfield (Flat, there and back, virtually identical month to month) and get a total of 4 runs (not 4 timed runs, 4 *total*) in an entire day... Dang we had it good

Views are nice though.

On the plus side, there are real road courses within 30 minutes of home now

Hope all are well!

The Ridge is supposed to be a real nice track! You'll have to check it out and report back.

I just checked out the Project 0 website, it looks super promising. I might go to one of their drift events to get some skid pad time and check it out.

Wow! I checked out the website for Project 0 yesterday and they had at least 5 drifting events scheduled over the next few months. https://projectoz.net/
I was going to sign up for one to check it out. I can always use more skid pad time.
Now they have nothing scheduled, which means there is a giant parking lot close to Viejas that is basically unused for anything.
It appears to be up for private rental only now.
Is anyone interested in taking a road trip out there, after WSIR, to check it out?
It may be a great place for AX and PDS, and it might be cheap to book.

The clubs (BMWCCA, PCA, and SCCA) are working with Project O to utilize the facility for AX. BMWCCA had an event last weekend that was canceled due to some construction delays. SCCA has had an event there already, as well.
