Just curious if there are any people who autocross, drag race, attend track days, or race in an actual organized series?

I was super close to auto-x in Cali with my Sky, but working 3/3 12hr shifts meant my schedule never lined up with weekend events :/

There is a a track/dragstrip up here and an Auto-X club or two, so who knows...

I race both bikes and cars on sealed circuits. Cars I race in muscle car classes and bikes I race in unlimited bike classes. Just a bit of fun to pass the time when I have spare time.

It would have been soooo awesome to hit a track day at Sonoma (which was

If its something you passionate about do you reckon you could go pro at it? I mean its a nice way to pass time given you have the skills for it.

I race in two sports clubs in Michigan at M1 Concourse and Waterford Hills. There is a picture of my current car in my profile. Used to race a Honda CBR600RR as well. Fun stuff.

Been racing for about 20 years, formula cars, endurance racing, club racing, circle track, autocross, drag racing and land speed @ Bonneville. I guess you could say I like race cars.

Drag races @ track(s) or on the street? [:cool:]

And if it was on the street, did that have anything to do with no more vehicle access? I know some states (Cali) have had to take a really hard line on street racers. To the point where there are some pretty ridiculous rules on the books regarding after market parts and modifications. [:tired:]
