Couple of So Cal events you might be interested in

Just an FYI before I get to the actual info – for both of these events (or any autocross event for that matter) helmets are mandatory. You can find helmet info on any of the sites listed below (I only mention this because when I took my first class it wasn't clear – I ended up rushing out to purchase a helmet the day before an event). You can easily find a helmet that fits the requirement for under $100 (I think I paid $65 for mine).

Anyway, following is info on 2 upcoming events:

Saturday January 12th, El Toro (the old El Toro Marine Air Base). This one is being put on by Drift Day. It's a one day event, relaxed environment, geared the event toward new and intermediate level auto crossers. No SCCA membership required for this event. For more info go to:

Saturday and Sunday – January 26 & 27, El Toro (the old El Toro Marine Air Base). This one is being put on by Evolution Performance Driving School. It's a 2 day event (Phase I and Phase II). You don't have to take Phase II if you don't want to, but to take Phase II you must have completed Phase I at some time. I took the Phase I school a few months ago – what a blast it was. To attend this event, you DO have to be an SCCA member. If you don't have current SCCA membership, they can provide you with a one day SCCA membership. This is for insurance purposes.
