Sept to mid October at Thunderhill is likely the only track event I may
attend this year.

Subject: [NSX-CA Northern] NSX-CA Track Events in NorCal
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 <http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/index.html> Racing: 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. <http://home.onemain.com/~bonster/schedule.html> Racing: 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.
