SFR Laguna Regional May 3-4

Congratulations Josh,

Good luck on finding a place to test and tune your suspension. I suspect Buttonwillow will be having a test and tune day on the 16th before the Single Regional/National. I've gotten lots of track time with these Friday T&T days at Buttonwillow, if you attend for the whole day it's like 6-8 half hour sessions.

Infineon, Thunderhill, and Buttonwillow all have plenty of open test days for race cars. Infineon's a little expensive for testing, but it's the closest and most handling-oriented. So it shouldn't be a problem finding a track, it's just a matter of finding the time.

There's test days at Infineon??

I thought they'd be rarer than test days at Laguna. My second club race that I ever went to was at Sear-Point. I was helping crew for a Vee driver, so it was pretty easy going, and I got to spectate a lot. I remember his last name was Bell, and he drove an old Z-bar Carocal B I think. In those days, they didn't have the track events, you had to attend someones school, and drive their vehicle to get on the track. That's when I decided to take up Karting. Maybe I'll post some pictures from that race tomorrow morning.

Nice job, Josh. Someday I have to drive Laguna.

James, the day before most SCCA events @ Sears Point, is a track test day. SCCA is Sears Point's best customer when it comes to test days before regional events.

They see the cash cow coming, but I don't think Topeka does.

Hey Tim,

Thanks for that info. I'd rather race with some knowledge of the track, and test and tune days get me lots of time for the money. I've uploaded some pictures you might be interested in, from the Sears Point Fall regional, 1990:

Man, have things changed in 18 years.

Check out my pictures / movies of the classic Sears Point from my IT days, circa 1993-1994 in my ITB Scirocco. Back in those days, we had 9 run groups. Group 9 was ITS and ITB, Group 8 was ITA and ITC. Each of those groups had over 50 cars.
