[NSX-CA Northern] NSX-CA Track Events in NorCal

[KHrant at aol.com]

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!
 
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. 
 
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.
 
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:
 
_NCRC_ (http://www.ncracing.org/events.html) : better suited to  those with 
more skill, horsepower, and seeking an opportunity to transition  perhaps to 
more racing with their ARC program
_TrackMasters  Racing:_ (http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/index.html)  
Ideal for those interested in pure HPDE/S with room to  mix it in the advanced 
groups where you do need horsepower
_T.E.A.M.  Racing_ (http://home.onemain.com/~bonster/schedule.html) : 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 ;-)
 
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.
