SR20 West Coast Convention in Kern County, California
SR20 Convention
Kern County, CA
November 1st & 2nd, 2013
Hosted by Raul Fileto and Charlie Barnes
It is with great pleasure to announce the SR20 Convention in the West Coast! Having been to two SR20 National Conventions out on the east side of the country, I gained great knowledge and interest in hosting one a little closer to home. I've been mentored by the great Joemaican aka @happynole aka Uncle Joe and have been on the phone with him for hours on end. His advice and direction has given me great confidence to go ahead and proceed with the program.

Now for those who are planning on racing at Willow Springs Streets of Willow road course, We have a minimum amount of drivers which is (15) we need to have sign up to run our own private session. There is also a maximum (20) for this event. I just want to make things clear as far as payment goes. There is absolutely NO REFUNDS This is coming straight from Revo of Team Topak. If you can't make it, that's too bad. What I would do in that situation is contacting a fellow driver who wants to race his car and make arrangements with him/her.
