I was invited by Opak Racing to take my car to the Infineon race track and oh boy that was fun!!! I am hooked and would like everyone to experience driving on the track...It's not all about horsepower, it is about driving technique.

F1Lynn came by in the afternoon and got to ride on the OPAK RSX Race car.

So here is what I am planning for our next meet, I was talking to Opak Racing and Autosport garage asking them to sponsor the group so we do not have to pay for track time.

Here is the link to N.A.S.A. Pro Racing schedule.

I went to this event today to experience the process first hand....Here is how my day went...all times are close to the actual event and the track time is 20 minutes at a time and for beginners you get 5 times on the track:

6:45 Drive to Sonoma
7:30 Arrived at Infineon and paid my $10.00 entrance fee
8:00 Met with Opak Racing and registered for Level 1 Driving with Instructor
8:30 Went to the Drivers Lounge for Lesson and be assigned to a instructor
9:00 Vehicle inspection to make sure your car has no violation and all safety device are working. My first time on the track riding with my instructor (this was scary..they drive fast) to show me the apex lines
9:45 My car's first time on the Track with the instructor on the passenger side
10:05 Driver's Lounge for download (they talk about what happened on the last drive.)
11:45 2nd time on the track with the instructor...this time I was more comfortable and driving more on the apex lines.
12:30 Parade Lap - This is where your friends and family can ride with you and show them exactly how it feels to be on the race track.
1:45 Third time on the track - Driver's lounge for download afterwards
3:35 Fourth Time on the Track - Driver's lounge
5:15 Fifth time on the Track and drivers lounge

So all in all this will be a full day event...it is cool since there are races in between and the whole family is invited. At infineon there are activities for everyone...and I mean everyone. There is also a time reserved for non racers to experience the track by driving with a registered driver for half hour.

By the way here is the link to our last event:
