How many runs will we get at the autocross and road course? Is there a cap on the entries? How many?
Thanks,
Brian

I only have lap belts; can I autocross all day? no road course.

Rules are posted on their site.

Sorry for any confusion with my previous post, I read the rules, I do not have a 3pt seat belt so I cannot compete on the road course. I would like to know if I can autocross all day.

If it's not specifically addresssed in the rules, I lean towards yes. I'm sure Bill will chime in soon.

I understood it as you would be able to "compete" in all events, but the group without the added saftey devices would run the road course with some adde chicanes to slow things down.

Hey guys. Registration has been opened for two days and we are almost full. I swear, I think we could fill a seven day event at El Toro. If you miss this event, don't worry, we will have another one a little further north, announcement soon!

Lap belt only will be allowed to run, just at a reduced speed on the roadcourse. However, to answer the question, yes, you could autocross all day if you like.:thumbsup:

Jody, yes, Jessica is my oldest daughter. She is helping out now that we have gone nationwide...haha

Entries are limited to 70 cars per day. However, we do have better timing for the road course now, so more cars at a time and less down time timing everyone. I hate to guess or estimate runs, but I know everyone ran all the autocross laps they could stand last year and with the new timing equipment this year, I am hoping the road course will be the same.

I figured you would get lonely behind the timing table at the auto-x.

The new RFID system worked really well for the road course at RTTA... Can't get much simpler than that from what I saw.

Todd.... I'm bringing the Mustang down -- with Hosier R6's... :lol: but WTH... it doesn't qualify as a street car regardless....

I was on the phone with them about some parts and possibly picking them up when they come out for RTTC. I see in the recent days they have changed their mind. I'm glad to see they are coming out for it. Even though I move down a couple spots with them running. Still glad DSE will attend. And I stand corrected.

Kevin, Orange County Race Craft that hosts the event stipulated that passengers aren't allowed on the road course, unless an instructor is giving them a ride. The autocross is a completely different story. You could stand in the staging lane and bum rides off of people all day long!

I am seriously considering flying down to Bakersfield and then hitching a ride down to this event.
Besides the fact it would be nice to meet all of you guys, is it worth my time as a spectator?
Are you allowed to ride along with some of the competitors?

I have room in my BBT (Big Bouncy Truck) if you get to Bakersfield...

Like Nike says -- Just do it!

If you SMOKE - then fugidaboudit.... :D
