I went with my boyfriend to Jim Russell racing school at Sears Point. We had 10 people in our class, 8 guys and 2 girls. The instructors were knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I ended up 5th and my boyfriend 1st in our group.
It’s so much fun and by the end of the 3rd day all I wanted to do was get a massage and relax for the next few days.
I’ve heard the Bondurant in Phoenix is great. And Skip Barber at Laguna Seca is also good.
Have a blast!
you have to go to bristol…best place to enjoy auto racing in my opinion….tickets are hard to get though…but you wont regret it…
Aha, looks like you took my advise from a previous answer about considering going to a sportscar race.
If you want to go this year, your choices are limited and the only race left on the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) is at the Mazda Raceway in Laguna Seca, Oct 19-21. See link below and scroll to bottom of page.
This link will take you to the Mazda Raceway website which has schedules and ticket information:
The Rolex Series has only one race left on the schedule, but it’s next weekend at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah.
Looks like some of the other people who answered your question should take remedial reading. Bristol is an oval race track, it isn’t in Southern California and it doesn’t host a sportscar race.
By the way, there are no more major events at Infineon Raceway, that last one was on the weekend.
I hope at least some of this is helpful.
Go to Infineon Raceway in California they have lots of races there and even a NASCAR race.
Go on Chasin Racin.net and find the closest road course to where you live. That would be the best thing to do. Also check out SCCA and NASA for some schedules or racing clubs.
Bristol Motor sport in Bristol Tn
MAZDA RACEWAY AT LAGUNA SECA!!! It’s in Monterey right? Not only is it legendary but you can see a very large portion of the track. The ALMS race would be the best
