You don't need membership to attend as a guest. I attended three...2 CASTO chapter 6 roadeos, and one norcal roadeo. I'd say the chapter 6 ones are more fun...I went with a driver trainer from EDUHSD, and we both judged. I've lost my contacts at CASTO, but I'm sure I could find out information again...I'd be interested in going.
We have our own bus roadeo here at Unitrans. All staff is allowed to compete, even non-drivers. I did it last year, and it was really fun! I'd say I did pretty well for never being behind the wheel of a bus before. I told my driver trainer not to tell me anything unless I was about to hit something, and he never needed too! I did plow through multiple cones though...
Getting off topic now, but our drivers treat the roadeo as a race. Its the only day of the year that they remove the 5mph limit at the Pad. I never knew how rough buses could be...I was sitting down holding on, and still got thrown side to side. I tried to get a video, but my finger slipped off the camera button when the driver hit the brakes...you can see the bus speeding torwards a fence, then the visual cuts out and you hear the brakes lock up and people start to scream. It was intense.
