I used to do mostly PCA and BMW-CCA events. Once I discovered NASA there was no going back. It's the only venue that I know of which has both HPDE and racing (and of course time trialing). I'll agree that some of the events are packed, especially at the premier tracks, but it's worth it. Now we have a core group of about 15 people that all meet up. Like you said before, waiting for your own friends to go with you will result in you staying home...go and make new ones. It's much cooler to see real racing between your own track sessions than to see other beginners putter around, and you can learn about competing and see if it's for you. Now I go to events with other clubs and find them severely lacking... Of course I'm speaking specifically about my NASA region, Great Lakes, I'm sure it could vary from one to the other. Too bad you're not closer, at Spectator-Racing events the instructors ride along as long (or as little) as you want. I usually spend all day in the car with my students. And they usually come back to our events despite that  |
