When you think of San Diego you might think of beautiful weather, great beaches, and fantastic California Burritos. It’s SoCal living as one might expect, but a more more laid back approach.

Autocrossers, come here for another reason: San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium (formally known as Jack Murphy Stadium) as it boasts one of the largest and most unique lots in the country.

2016 yielded a lot change to the “South East” Lot (not the normal “West Lot” that the SCCA is used to running). Despite the rocky situation with the local NFL Football team now moving to Los Angeles, San Diego Region, as well as the SCCA, were able to secure the lot for the less intense intro to the National Level Competition: the 2017 Match Tour. For the Fontana Pro Solo about three weeks away (yes the venue changed from El Toro), you’ll even have a little breathing room between these two events. The CAM Challenge will be held at the same time but scored separately which is unique to a National Level competition. If you’re into beautifully restored classic cars from the Big Three thundering up hill at wide open throttle, you need to check this out by coming in. It’s free to spectate!

But let’s get back to things you can do around San Diego, because aside from racing, there are a lot of options for those looking to change gears before the weekend of fun.

For the inner Safari-adventurer, check out some pretty awesome animals at the world famous San Diego Zoo. Want to go check out some polar bears or make a splash with Shamu instead? Check out Sea World located only a 15 minutes from the stadium. If you have little ones that love to build things, consider checking out Legoland at Carlsbad. If hiking is your thing, there are many trails around the county, about a half an hours drive from the venue (some of which even go along the beach).

San Diego boasts loads of great restaurants, many of which are a short drive from the stadium. If you’re feeling a bit fancier, check out any of the fine dining establishments in San Diego’s historic Gaslamp District. For those looking to sample some delicious micro-brews you’re in luck! San Diego is home to Ballast Point, Stone Brewing, Twisted Manzanita, and Indian Joe Brewing, just to name a few.

If you're looking to get your feet wet at a national level event without breaking the bank (it’s only $90 as opposed to the $100+ for a Championship Tour), get more runs (you get to run both days regardless of how you do on the first day), and just focus on growing as a driver over the weekend, this is the event for you. If competition is your thing, you’ll find plenty of it, but let’s not forget that you’re going to be meeting new people and making new friends. Be sure to sign up today!
