This would be an Official SAE event for early May 2016. Just got back from a pretty productive visit to Willow Springs Raceway. I'll post up some pictures in a minute.

Idea is to rent out the Horse Thief Mile and surrounding off-road area, and maybe the Drift pad though we may not need that. General Layout Concept - Note that we would have access to Horse Thief Mile if there's a reason to use it, other than fun times... Looking East towards Streets of Willow - Big flat area that could be used for endurance and whatever else. Hill Climb Hill - It's quite steep. Top of the Hill Climb - Looking East S & T Area? - Kind of a Gully with some interesting features around. If my Electric car can do it, so can your baja. (I stuck to the access roads) |

Has anyone contacted SAE Baja officials to open the discussion on SoCal hosting in 2016? I would suggest starting with Sam Barill: http://students.sae.org/cds/ulaseries/contact.htm - http://students.sae.org/cds/formulaseries/contact.htm |

Yes, they reached out to me. Sam is involved, as are some National Tech Inspectors who have also done organizing. This is the real deal. So if you can help, please post up.
Looking at a possible scouting trip to Hungry Valley, Willow Springs, and Glen Helen on Friday May 15. Edited by adrive7 - Mar/28/2015 at 5:29pm |

Bump.
Did a tour of a few sites today. Hungry Valley, Antelope Valley Fairgrounds, and Willow Springs Raceway. Hungry Valley looks pretty feasible. This event is looking pretty solid, and we're going to need help! Who's in?

Hey guys,
UCLA Alum here, I'm totally willing to help make this happen. I'm working in NorCal, but I'm down to help plan and fly down for setup/event/cleanup. Stoked to see that this is actually happening!
