Hi,

While CBR may not be the best (OK they aren't the best), they are certainly far from the worst. As far as I know and unfortunately experienced with a teammate in August, they have a certified EMT with supplies at races that Chris promotes. If you need more than that he gets the local emergency responders to the scene.

Regarding the unorganized perspective, most SCNCA races are less organized than CBR races. Registration runs MUCH more smoothly at CBR and the races run on schedule except when there is a serious crash. The Masters races at SCNCA events get shortened much more frequently to make up for late starts than at CBR.

I guess YMMV but that's my personal experience the past few years in SoCal.
