I've only been doing the track days for a couple of years now, but I have managed to hit all the California tracks I like, with the exception of Reno-Fernley(NV, but it's close to CA), which I haven't just because it is so far.

I really enjoy Infineon, it's quite a challenging course, doesn't really give you time to breath and relax. Thunderhill has a much more relaxed pace, but the long, unbanked or off camber corners tend to get on my nerves, as I'm just wearing of rubber for nothing. So far, Laguna Seca is my fav, a combo of nicely banked turns with a lot of elevation changes and gut-check braking zones.

I really don't know how my rig is going to do at the speeds those tracks get to, I'll be getting a full cage in before that happens I'm sure. The front end was designed for those type of events, but the back end geometry still remains a mystery as far as it's performance.

Did you take your Bug to Thunderhill? How was it going through turn 1?
