i went out and scoped out the track in stockton and id say its pretty even and nice (not too bumpy)
Oh yeah : be careful what you leave out of your car when you unpack it in the paddock. Things have (unfortunately) been known to be stolen out of the paddock at that site. It is not in one of Stockton's finer neighborhoods, and site security is pretty much non-existent. If you have valuables in the car, it's probably better to leave them at home.

Having raced there before, I think you're in for quite the shock on Sunday. It's surprisingly bumpy (not as bad as Candlestick, but probably the second bumpiest Bay Area/Sac/Valley AutoX side)and not all that grippy.

ok, quick question. this would by my first autox, can anyone give me a expected timetable. My RS is in the second group running I think. At what time would I run.
I'm concerned about this, because I'm seriously trying to fit in church around the autox. And church is at 9:30. grreeeat. Any input would be appreciated.

Guipo: that's gonna be real tough. If you're running in Group 2, you have to work the cones when Group 1 is running--and vice versa. Plus you have to register pretty early, I think an hour before the first car is out. They also have to tech your car. You pretty much have to count on being there the whole morning.
One option is to run in one of the afternoon groups and just put "WRG" (wrong run group) on your card or "Fun Runs". Any points you make that day won't be counted but you get to go out and run. That's all that matters if you're just out for fun.
Either way, I'll keep an eye out for ya. dorifto and I will be in STX (group 1).
Oh yeah, I brought my 1-year old daughter to the last autox at Cal Expo. She had a blast with my wife watching from the sidelines...

Guipo: Yup, G Stock is in Group 1. I don't think I need anything, but thanks for the offer. Dorifto? Oh! If you're there anyway, it would be great if I could give you my video camera and you could record some of our runs! If not, no biggie.
It's a good time to just hang out and learn and get a feel for what the whole event is like. You'll have fun.
I'd be totally happy to give you any advice or tips. BUT, this weekend will actually only be my fourth autox so I'm a newbie too, but I'm fairly comfortable now. At least I can tell you where to go and things like that. See you there!
