There's an autocross coming up at Mather Field (Sacramento) on the 16th of April that my wife and I will be driving in the morning session. I'm also signing up for Thunderhill with NASA on the next day, the 17th. Is anyone down for either? If you've never tracked your car, autocross is a great way to start. Also, Thunderhill is a great roadcourse if you've never tracked your car before. Lots of turns, long straights, no walls, and it's the cheapest. NASA provides an instructor if it's your first time. Let me know if your down for either (or both [:D])!

Here is a Thunderhill lap

Nick,

I'm in for autocross. I'm sure a couple of my buddies with Audi's and such are down too.

Here is the info for the autocross http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2/Sacramento/Cup20111.htm. I'm doing the morning session so you gotta be there early at 7am.

Yeah. Autocross sucks compared to a road course IMO, but its a good way to work on your braking and cornering skills.

Ya, I don't think autocross is worth it for me. I can get a similar effect at the Folsom lake parking lot all by myself

Never going to do another NASA event again.

I'll be there either on the 15th with Trackmasters or the week after with TEAM Racing.
