The club was founded in 1956 and, ever since, has run events for car enthusiasts who enjoy the challenge of testing their driving skills in an amicably competitive yet safe environment.

RSCC hosts local autocrosses throughout the year. Autocrosses, are the purest and safest form of competitive driving. They are run on wide, open courses -- usually at Orvil Wilson Park, in Fairhaven. Courses are designed and are setup differently for every autocross using chalk and cone markers. Only one car is on course at one time. Drivers are timed as they negotiate the course to the best of their cars' and their own abilities. Speeds are low and wear on the cars is minimal.

Besides providing fun and the excitement of quick controlled driving, autocross teaches precision, cornering, braking, acceleration, distance judgment and other driving skills that make autocrossers safer and more responsible drivers on public roads.


Bored from the winter?

Looking for something to do? Someplace to go with friends? Somewhere to drive with lots of corners and beautiful scenery. Well, I have the answer for you!!! On June 14 th, we will be leaving Eureka and driving over Highway 36 to Red Bluff. There we will be staying at the Best Western with a great pool and very nice rooms. Dining together that night with our friends and relaxing, away from phones and internet and dishes and lawns that have grass growing. But wait there’s more!! How about waking up, having breakfast together, driving to Redding on Interstate 5 and then cruising back home on Highway 299 through those awesome beautiful mountains with that gorgeous river along side. Oh, I forgot to mention the clues and instructions that you will have to follow to Red Bluff. We will then tally the results and announce the winner of the trip at dinner on Saturday. How great that is you say. How do I sign up? Well, you can call me at 707-441-1603 and tell me that you want to be a part of the rally and I will put your name on the rapidly growing list. But don’t dawdle because I want to reserve the motel rooms soon. They have 2 double bed rooms for $69.69 and 1 king bed room for $74.79. Each comes with a coffee pot, refrigerator, microwave and bathroom. It’s April 23, 2008, call soon.

Hoopa Hillclimb News!!!

Hi everyone! It has been a long time since we have discussed the Hoopa Hillclimb. Last Thursday, the 17 th of April, we went to Hoopa and asked the Tribal Council for permission to run the Hillclimb on July 19 th and 20th. They voted yes on the condition that we do not interfere with their water project. They are installing water lines all over the hill. Up the road and out from there to the houses and elsewhere. It is a huge project that they figure will take a couple of years. We know that they are starting on the road but are not sure how they plan on doing it. There are a couple of lateral pipes going across the road that will have temporary fill until they can pave. We were told that they will know more in a month so we will call then. If you would like to check out their website, they have a very large file that has a picture of the project in it. You can get there by going here the map is on printed page 10. .I will keep you informed as we go. I do plan on proceeding like normal just in case though. The motel is being reserved for us and not many rooms are taken as of this moment. The rooms are $85 a night regardless of how many beds or people. It is now required that you reserve the room with a credit card. They do not charge the card but only hold the number. And, evidently they are fixing up the rooms!!! I am not sure what that means but whatever they do it will certainly be a nice change. Talk to you soon and keep your fingers crossed.

2008
Drivers School

Once again the drivers school was a success. For the first time in many years the rain held off until after our day was over. Well at least till all the runs were through, then it started to rain. You know we couldn't have a totally rain free day, that just wouldn't be Humboldt county.

Never the less I think that everyone enjoyed themselves and hopefully learned a lot along the way.

Click for high res version.

There was a total of 17 drivers this year, some with no experience at all, and others that have been running for some time and just wanted to learn a little more. We had 6 teacher for the day and it made for a good teacher to student ratio and plenty of one on one time. It looks as though they are all planning on coming back on Sunday to put there new found knowledge of car control to the test.

I have a feeling that we may have made an impression on a few of the newcomers on just how much fun you can have with your car and it's actually legal.

We want to give a big thank you to all those involved in making things run so smoothly this year. It was a lot of hard work by those in the drives school committee, and without them we wouldn't have had as much fun as we did.
So once again THANK YOU...
