Is anyone going to Thunderhill (Willows, CA) for the MBCA Starfest defensive driving, autocross, acceleration runs, Sept 28, and time trials on Sept. 29 & 30?

I am driving over 1800 miles to attend this event. Glad to hear that at least a few people in Cal. are going to attend. Will not be in San Francisco, just the driving events at Willows.

SoCal not likely in the near future.
They just had Las Vegas not too long ago, and this time up in NorCal.

Not an MBCA event, although all MBCA members are welcome, but we're hoping to secure the Los Alamitos Air Base for a huge Mercedes-Benz Mega Meet and 1/4 mile runs on NOV 15th.
Mark your calendar. Either way, it's going to be a huge SoCal MB Meet !
