DIRECTIONS

From the Bay Area

Take I-80 to Sacramento
There, take US 50 towards South Lake Tahoe, avoiding downtown Sacramento
Exit at the Sunrise Blvd exit (Rancho Cordova) This is after the Mather Exit
Turn right (South) onto Sunrise
In 1 or 2 miles you’ll come to Douglas Road — Right on Douglas
You enter Mather Field here — it’s not guarded
Douglas crosses Mather Blvd — continue across onto the autocross site
you will see the cones and cars

Pat Kelly’s Alternate Route:

This avoids I-80 altogether, esp if you’re coming from south bay, or there-abouts.

Go east on 580, pick up 205 to I5 to Stockton
Exit I5 at state highway 4 (the freeway exit, just after Charter Way)
Connect with 99 North.
Continue on 99 past Lodi, Galt
Just before Elk Grove, exit onto Grant Line Road
Head east on Grant Line about 5 miles or so (it sometimes seems forever)
Turn left onto Sunrise,&nbsp
North on Sunrise about 5 more miles,&nbsp
Left onto Douglas and&nbsp
Straight into the site; you will see the cones and cars

Advantages are no bridge tolls, and a stroll back through time along the old but quick 99, plus among the least expensive gas stations (Chevron) at the Grantline exit, anyway, much less expensive than most stations here.

No matter which way you take, the gate is marked with pointer cones.
