NASA's trackday schedule for 2012 has finally been released and the first trackday is at Infineon on Feb. 11/12. Does anyone plan to come out?!?!
I plan to run HPDE3 on Sturday...but right now registration shows that I need to buy a ticket for saturday and sunday ![[Confused]](confused.gif) Hopefully I can get this cleared up and get registered for Saturday.
See you guys there ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif)

well, looks like I wont know if I'll be able to sign up for just saturday or just sunday until a week before the event. I emailed Jerry Kunzman and he said HPDE 3 is only being offered if you buy both days...sucks because I sure am not going to pay for two days if I can only go one ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif)

I think we are going to stay away from the early events, you know it will rain on that day only.

driving in the rain improves your driving skills plus it will give me something to do if you do f### up.

There's a bunch of different organizations who you can run with, but NASA is the most popular in my opinion. If I were you, check out <a href="http://www.nasaproracing.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.nasaproracing.com</a>
Sign up for an event (you'll probably be in HPDE1) and go to town! You'll need a helmet and your car needs to pass a tech inspection. Other than that there's nothing to it!
You could also sign up for cheaper trackdays with NCRC (www.ncracing.org) but their trackdays are usually further away, ie:Thunderhill, Buttonwillow, etc.
If you're seriously considering it, yuo should come out to a trackday and see how it all works.

Don't do it, you'll be hooked. After you try this you won't phuk around in the street because it's not fun anymore.

If you can't walk and chew gum at the same time, don't walk.

I will have to run with NASA because I really want to run at Infineon again. However, NCRC sure is cheaper, you get more track time, and you can do your own tech inspection. I don't even think you have to get a membership. I think I'll go to Thunderhill with NCRC after passing HPDE1 with NASA at Infineon. I think the car is still 2 months away from being ready.
Where do you get your tech inspection done? How much does it cost? I am in Santa Rosa.
Thanks,
Craig

Hey Craig,
NASA definitely offers a great schedule (all weekends) and are the cheapest I've seen when it comes to trackdays at Infineon. It's the closest track for me too so I pay the price to play there:o . NASA also offers really good instructor program. FOR FREE! All HPDE1 drivers get a free all-day instructor, so you definitely learn a lot from them. I know I did! I think NCRC and Trackmasters offer instructors as well, but i dont think they're as readily available as NASA's instructors.
I've never ran with NCRC either but I hear great things about them! I'm hoping to run with them more often this season (I'll be at T-hill with NCRC on March 3).
As far as inspections go, there's a list of shops on the NASA website. There are a couple shops local in my area (Hayward) that do it and it's free.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I think that I want to go through HPDE1 with a NASA instructor before I start hitting up the other clubs events. I definitely want to check out Thunderhill some time. It is about a 2hr drive for me but half of it is a pretty fun drive, at least is was in my wife's Explorer when we were on the way up to Lake Shasta. I am sure it would be more fun in the Mustang if I didn't get arrested!

Well it's a little bit more than that. It's $179 but NASA requires a year membership fee of about $40 plus they charge $10 per event for paddock parking.
