I'm not sure if any old timers besides me surf our forum. A video was
posted that's on youtube. One of the openning interviews is Stacy
McDonald who the daughter of Max and Marilyn McDonald. This family
was very active in our club back in the day.

Thanks for showing us that, Ric. Autocrossing on city streets - go figure. Notice how close some of those walls are. Hey - wonder if we could do something like that in Fresno? Hmmm, probably not.

Hi Ron,
At one time we did explore the idea of having an event like that in Hanford.
I don't think these events are allowed anymore. The risk is just too great.

Walls and curbs keep you honest. We used to run in a empty industrial park in Aurora, Colo and also rent Englewood Speedway (a 1/3 mi oval with figure 8 shown below) for autox. Both had a real effect on people's driving and often changed the expected results significantly. Locally, Altamont Speedway was fun to run, also.
