If you read these forums for a while, you'll notice that there is a close knit community of East Coast Mazda3 autocrossers here. They all know each other and cheer each other on, and many of them have good advice to give. But they also have their little close knit group and largely ignore West Coast events. I've posted results and events and have gotten little to no response.
I know there are a few guys from the bay area, and they have good things to say on this forum too, but I believe from attending events that there is only one HS Mazda3 being run in southern California. To fill the El Toro event, you may want to try the CalClub boards at
www.solo2.com. It's a dedicated site to the LA area SCCA autocross club.
It'd be interested too to see who would be willing to come out to El Toro and also the Wendover Pro.
This is NOT a knock against the guys on this forum, just observations. Like I said, many of the East Coast guys have good and helpful things to say and I'm not trying to knock them.
