POST SCRIPT: Thank you to all who were able to attend the banquet. The schedule worked out so that there was plenty of time to socialize afterwards.

If you couldn't attend this year, plan to make it in early 2024.

Rally on!

It's that time again, time for us to recognize our 2022 Rally and Rallycross champions and to honor certain CRS members for their special contributions to our sport and to the California Rally Series.  Come join us for food, friends, awards, and camaraderie!   If your name is listed in blue in the championship listings, congratulations! It means you're getting a year-end trophy - a personalized photo trophy plaque!

Just like last year the banquet will be hosted at Cisco's Mexican Restaurant, located at 1712 E Avenida de Los Arboles in Thousand Oaks, California, 91362.  It's just off the Ave de los Arboles exit of the CA-23 freeway. CA-23 runs between the US-101 and CA-118 freeways.

Dinner will be a buffet featuring traditional choices like taquitos, beef and chicken fajitas, rice and beans, and tortillas, as well as vegetarian choices like cheese enchiladas and salad.  Desserts and soft drinks, as well as tea and coffee, will also be available.  For safety, the restaurant will provide servers for the buffet line.

The cost is $40/person, or $20/child under the age of 11.

Alcoholic beverages are available from a full bar, at your own expense.

The schedule is:

Happy hour:   5:00 to 6:00 PM
Dinner break: 6:00 to 7:00 PM
Awards:       7:00 to 9:00 PM

Note: The restaurant and bar opens at noon, so if you arrive early, you can grab an early snack or beverage.

If you'd like a fun drive to get to the restaurant, travel along Pacific Coast Highway (CA-1) from Santa Monica (the western terminus of I-10, the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway) to CA-23 (north of Malibu), then take CA-23 all the way to the restaurant.

Nearby features include California Lutheran University, the usual shopping malls, the Reagan Library, and plenty of hiking trails. Malibu is about 15 fun miles due south, Ventura about 30 miles due west (or north, depending on signage), and Six Flags Magic Mountain is about 40 miles to the northeast.

There are several nice hotels in the area for our out-of-town guests, including a Hampton Inn, a Courtyard by Marriott, the Thousand Oaks Inn, the Quality Inn, and a Fairfield Inn in Moorpark.

Note: If you're unable to attend this year's banquet, please identify someone who will claim your trophy for you.  Thanks!

Best wishes to all for the upcoming 2023 season, and congratulations to everyone who competed in 2022.

Rally on!
