Tempting it'll be on a friday and saturday...let us know about the specifics:)Lets try to get a group going for november 21st or the 22nd at cal speedway.:goldcup:

[gbogh3]

Do you know if HDPE allows passengers? All day?

Thanks,
g

[yellowfever]

do they have class for 1st timers?

[gbogh3]

do they have class for 1st timers?

Yes, all track events will have a group "beginners" some groups are more equiped to help "first timers" than others. Best Advice would be to do some research on the event, do they allow passengers, like I asked before. If they do then you can get guys from the forum to ride with you and you can ride with them if there is not an instructor available.

ACRA is a good group, but doesn't always have someone to ride with you
TCRA, very solid, usually has instructors to ride along
Speedventures same as TCRA

Events like BMW CCA and Driving Concepts Always with an instructor, that is what you are paying for....

Hope this helps.

do they have class for 1st timers?

Yes they have november with speedventure ithink its the 21st at cal speeddway will be the best.

[gbogh3]

Ghostrider would be a good person to have ride in your car, he's got some skills. ;)
