(Photos by Cole Reynolds) This past weekend in SoCal it was all about the Speed Limit Racing Autocross in Camarillo, where we watched Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, Miatas, Porsches, El Caminos, Chevelles, Cobras, a Honda or two, Vipers, Trucks, and God only knows what else, make lap after lap on an autocross course that featured exit speeds of nearly 100 mph. And did I mention this is held at an airport? Yeah, one that has tons of traffic, including bitchin WWII bombers, trainers, and more!
We’ve had several photo galleries from the event this week, and the links below will take you to anything you missed.
You’ll really love the photos of the planes and helicopters that are everywhere. Sometimes you can be making an autocross run and have a plane on approach to land that is less than 100 feet above you. Sometimes WAY less. It sure is fun to watch, although it can sometimes be a little nerve racking as well. The cool factor makes it all worth it.
World War II planes, Vietnam Era helicopters, new helicopters and planes, as well as several really bitchin private jets were flying over the track on Saturday and Sunday last week and we wished we were in all of them. Cole got some good photos of the planes, and the cars, and sometimes both! But the real reason we were there was the on track action.
With a course that saw speeds approaching 100 mph, along with some nice technical tight spots, every competitor was having a great time putting their car or truck though its paces. Some drivers put on more of a show than they planned, spinning out and catching some of us off-guard. Cole however was on it and made sure he got pictures of all the action, good or bad.
