I have only been on Thunderhill. I love it. I want to try Sears Point, and Laguna Seca. Out of those 3 tracks, which is the most dificult to handle?

I like T-Hill the most, long straight, nice sweeper (t-2). I think locally the most technical, or technically challenging, is Sears added the fact there is little to no run-off on a few turns it makes things more interesting. Laguna is a great track as well, but then you have to deal with the 91dB noise level.

I am yet to goto Willows, but will be going to Buttonwillow end of this month for the first time (if it doesn't rain).

If you haven't seen them already, the Shelby Club has some great handbooks on the 3 local tracks.

Sears Point is definitely the most challenging racetrack in California. If anybody is in the area this weekend, you should come out to Sears and check out the final American Iron race of the season. Race starts at 12:00 on Sunday.

Most of us will be at our free BBQ in Pleasant Hill. You can come down for an hour then go up to your race. We are only 40 minutes from the track.

PLEASE!!! It’s got to be Secca.

But seriously I have raced on them all Sears Point, Laguna Secca, Thunder Hill, Buttonwillow, Willow Springs. I have to say for technical it’s Secca, for pure drifting madness its Willow Springs, for over all beat the s**t out of your car conditions it’s the “Hill”. If you car does not break down at the “Hill” it never will. Damn did I just rhyme? [Smile]

I prefer THill because I know it best & because it's relatively safe. Although I wish I could figure out T9. [Smile] I've managed a couple of spins that could have been real trouble at some other tracks.

Sears is great because of elevation changes, blind corners and high speed corners. But it sucks safety-wise--no runoff. I prefer watching at Sears, not running.

Laguna kinda has the best of both. Lots of challenging areas, like Sears, but not as dangerous. I haven't run Laguna too many times, but really enjoy it.
