Last session out is usually 4:30 but it all depends on how the order goes. If hpde 1 goes out first then your last session will be like 3:30 so you'll go home early.

It's Willows, not the east bay.

Mines 2.5 but mine is a track only car. Roger Kraus Racing in Hayward can set it up for you. They've done mine before and tell them you want a street/track setup so you don't have to keep going back for a new alignment.

Hell yeah man. Do you have a video camera? We should try to get you to run in front of my dad because I just got done with the dash mount for my camera. It turned out pretty sick. I removed the clock pod and made a custom bracket that bolts to the dash using the existing holes. I will also be holding another video camera on the side of the track. I'm also bringing a couple of different camera's. We will have plenty of pics and video.

Nice! Yea I have a little HD modal Zi8...like the Flip. I plan to mount it on the inside of my windshield if I can find the bolt for my mount/holder.
I'll try to get in front of your dad...but does anyone know how they choose the order of vehicles?

NASA has a really good program but a few years of "20 minute track session, wait two hours" got a bit old for me.
There are other alternatives when you're ready.

If you go out together in a group then you will be able to drive together. NASA is cool because you get to watch open tracking as well as real races like CMC, AI, AIX, spec Miatas etc. I think this time it's bmw's and Porsche series. Nasa packs a lot into a wekkend that's for sure.

Generally the average track time for a club event is 1:45 to 2 hours. 1:45 for clubs that have 4 run groups, 2 hours for 3 run groups. Weekend events tend to be higher priced than weekdays.
Clubs I've run with....
Hooked On Driving http://www.hookedondriving.com/
Very good beginner program, usually 4 run groups but one of the more expensive clubs.
Trackmasters http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/
Good beginner program, 3 and/or 4 run groups depending on the event. One of the lowest priced.
NCRC http://www.ncracing.org/
The lowest price. 4 run groups so it's 1 hour, 45 minutes of run time. No formal beginner program.
YPTD http://www.yourprivatetrackday.com/
Very good beginner program. 3 run groups. Limited number of events. More expensive.
Speed Ventures http://www.speedventures.com/
Mostly run in SoCal with some events up here. Moderate price, good beginner program.
Shelby Club http://www.norcal-saac.org/ot/otdate.htm
No formal beginner program. 3 run groups. Moderate price. More restrictive for advance group drivers (no passing in turns).
Beyond those there are the marquee based clubs (ie BMW, Lotus, Miata, etc). Some are only for that brand (like Porsche club) but most allow any type of car and a lot of them are reasonably priced. Most offer some form of instruction for beginners.

You won't have any problems with tech, just make sure you got that fire extinguisher locked down. See you out there
