So I want to get into some sort of racing with the Talon... I used to do a lot of time attack with a race prepped Mustang, but since selling that a couple years ago I haven't raced anything, and the itch is strong. I tried to go ice racing up here in Canada but after jumping through a bunch of hoops the organizers basically added rules until a side by side couldn't compete period, so that's out. I know there's some racing down in texas and such, but is there anything on the west coast? I pretty much guarantee nothing in Canada, but something in WA, OR, MT, ID etc?

Obviously there's stuff like the Mint 400 and Tonopah 250 and such, but looking for something like a (relatively) stock class 1000 Naturally aspirated class or along those lines. Safety gear and coms and such but not needing to spend 40k on top of the car building a race buggy. Lots of experience racing, (thousands of laps) just not offroad stuff, so i'd like to get my feet wet.

I don't know of anything out that way. Most of the short course SxS racing happens in the Midwest. I got lucky and moved to a great location for SxS racing. I'm 45min from Texplex Park and 5hrs from Mid America Outdoors. Both are hosting short course series for the 2021 season.

Sorry for the crappy screen shots, I don't FB so that is the best I can do.

I'm running my Talon at Texplex and Mid America in the Pro N/A class this season.

There is a bracket race at TO2021 to determine once and for all the fastest color, but all the entry spots are already spoken for.

We use to here in AZ and they had some in California, not sure if that will happen now. Lucas oil pulled out of the sponsorship
