<DIV>
<DIV>Folks, as we start planning the year ahead for track days, below are the track dates by TrackMasters Racing, NCRC, and T.E.A.M. Racing that promote HPDE/S (high performance driving event/school). The listed dates are pretty much confirmed, a few more might be added. As you will see, we are truly lucky to have so many options at four tracks in NorCal (Laguna, Infineon, THill and Reno/Fernley) and Buttonwillow - you know where!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please take a look and let us know which dates would be most attractive to you all to make it a featured NSX-CA event, and hopefully we can get NSXCA Northwest Region to support it as well with its regular subsidy to the NSXCA members - a template to how the two can work together by complimenting one another. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have highlighted in red the dates that I think would work for all based on previous history/attendance. Please note that Infineon and Laguna Seca events fill quickly so an early commitment is a must. And for novices, not to worry, all these programs offer excellent instructors, and quite a few are NSX owners as well. I am deliberately avoiding Thunderhill in summer months as it can get really warm and that can be too hard on some NSXs.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I must also note that all three programs have supported the NSXCA-Sacramento Chapter in the past by helping us with track events. If I may add "my" $0.02 on these programs:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.ncracing.org/events.html">NCRC</A>: better suited to those with more skill, horsepower, and seeking an opportunity to transition perhaps to more racing with their ARC program</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/index.html">TrackMasters Racing:</A> Ideal for those interested in pure HPDE/S with room to mix it in the advanced groups where you do need horsepower</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://home.onemain.com/~bonster/schedule.html">T.E.A.M. Racing</A>: Ideal for beginners and intermediate drivers who won't be intimidated with horsepower cars per se but also will appreciate what momentum is all about and occasionally pass cars to help boost the ego ;-)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In recent years, TrackMasters Racing has picked up a solid following from our NSX community, thanks to Doug Gale's (the owner) overtures to our enthusiasts. Doug and I are exploring further how best we can enhance his program to make it even more attractive to you all.</DIV>
