Tolko Autox?

Tolko is closed and they are remediating the property, apparently. Looking from Google Earth, that sure is a large pad next to Ellis. A la Packwood? That property is privately owned. Anybody here own it?

Re: Area 27 Kartplex

Just a note re: helmets. They do require a face shield or you must use a loaner.

Re: June 21 racing roll call

Just short of 30 drivers. Lots of pent up demand.

Re: June 21 racing roll call

I agree. I think we will be fine. Many don't regularly access the forums.

Re: Would this car be legal to run?

Great find! I'm not an expert on the matter, but I don't see why not. Of course, it must meet tech inspection. For example, brakes function, tire condition, it runs below 96db,wheels stay on car, fluids remain in vehicle, etc.

Look forward to seeing it on the pad.

Area 27 Autocross?

I've only been to the Kartplex. Who has been beyond the locked gate to shangrila? Is there a pad for Autox? August Motorsports Area 27 corporate events page, says "each track day now includes Autocross". In viewing from Google Earth, there appears to be a large paved pad near the pit lanes...

Re: 2020 season start.

Right. I've missed two work events, as a Notice was e-mailed, but a change to the date or time was posted only on the forum.

Sorry I wasn't there. I will try to be more diligent in checking the forum.

Re: Kartplex league racing info now available

I haven't done the league, but regular sessions have been fun. Would be interested.
