they dont have enough students to offset the number of instructors that have volunteered. Sign up so I can go too. :-)

Buy me a ticket to CA, and I'll go as a student.

omg, I just looked up where Infineon is, it was only like an hour away from San Fran! I should have visited it when I was there last week.

Price + drive + so soon; don't know if I can pull it - even though I'd like to and I'm sure it's worth it...

Entice us with mad marketing!

Roy, you will get lucky if you come that 400 miles north..I have imported many european hookers for the event...that will stay with you at the hotel. Its just one of those unannounced benefits of the event.

Yes, its pretty hefty in price..but then again..this is the most expensive track to rent on the planet these days.

Unfortunately, BMWCCA will not reduce their instructor to student ratio for an event.

Ah, so we may get something to take home with us for a lifetime to remember the event by.

The course looks like a lot of fun.

Holy expensive batman!

Probably worth it though... I'm not ready for Infineon myself being a relative n00b to tracking. I'm comfy with THill and Buttonwillow but will have to work up to Infineon and Laguna as I get more events under my belt.

No need. I started out with Infineon and though it was pretty easy, then went on to Laguna Seca, and thought that was even easier. Trying Thunderhill next.

Well I don't mean the complexity of the track, but the proximity of the walls.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go to the UFO one @ THill in March instead... Should be a good non-timed learning event.

If it weren't a 6 hours drive for me, I would go!

Laguna Seca is far enough as is!
