I'm kinda dissappointed that the Road Racing forum is so thin...!!!
I want to try to bring life to this forum and get all you closet road racers out!!!
Sounds good to us!! Don't hesitate to post often in this section. If you need any administrative help, feel free to email feedback@californiafords.com . We need to get the road racing section off the ground. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on going about this?
Thanks for the support 9COBRA8... i'll try to post as often as I can!

I'm Curious...??? What turned you off to NASA? and what are you interested in as a road racing venue? are you looking for 1 day events like the one discussed or are you interested in participating more often?

I've been getting into the autocrossing gig lately and just purchased about $1000 worth of suspension parts from Steeda. There are quite a few on this board that autocross. Chosen1 and ON N2O got me hooked. The enthusiasm is there for some, you usually see these posts in the tech section or general talk or events because no one except the auto crossers and road racers pay attention to this section of the board, I'll try and post here for you more, see if I can help get it going again ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others

Nasa was my 2nd time on the track, I believe. Couple things I didn't like:
1. Too damned many cars. It's like driving US101 at rush hour. You don't learn anything that way.
2. Instructors seemed very good, but the process they had you follow was to get you ready for their race series. That's fine if that's what you want to do.
I'm not interested in racing. I'm interested in a few open-track days a year.
I've been doing it long enough that I can help out with instructing newbies. I've taught at Tracquest a couple times and for Team Miata at Thunderhill 4 or 5 times, at the THill street school once, and with another group once.
So yeah, if someone is able to organize a track day that'd be great.

What about us, less crowded than NASA, cheaper, and less about racing, more about the enjoyment of open track.
NCDA Staff
One of our staff instructors will be out there in an 01 cobra, all stock, instructing in both traditional "grip" driving, and also putting on a drift show!
Hope to see some mustangs represent!

The NCDA used to require a hardtop convertible only, but now they allow convertibles, but you do have to have a roll bar.
I can help you with a roll bar if you are interested.
