Just received an email that Thermal CA M track days got cancelled 6-8 December. What a Bummer…

That truly is a shame. I attended two BMW track events over the summer. They were exceptionally great in terms of covid protocols. Probably shut down as part of a CA mandate…

CA going into shelter-in-place :frowning: makes sense non-essential activities are being cancelled…

Monticello registration for October 2021 is open as of this AM and the full day slots are already nearly gone!

Here’s to hoping the office can get my registration from last year moved over before it fills up entirely! Plenty of half days still open!

Edit: Lol ofc it’s sold out as soon as they called me

Edit 2: They called back and gave me a half day registration and a refund for the rest I had paid. Unfortunate that I missed the full day again, but I’ll take it and that’s reasonable IMO. Anyone going on the 16/17th?

Which car was the best?

M3 was incredible to me and think has limits far beyond what I am capable of. So extremely solid , obviously my skill level is very low but while pushing what felt like extremely hard for me it handled it incredibly and basically asked for more.

Extremely eye opening what you can do with these cars on a track, how much force you can generate and how much grip they have.

I have about 10 hpde/track days under my belt and I would have a hard time plunking down a grand for such limited actual track time. But if you’re just looking to scratch an itch sure, go for it. You will have a blast.

I did a bunch of these including the more expensive 2 day M school. HPDEs if you don’t have a sports car are tough to access. Even with a car you’re easily going to plunk down a grand or more between fees, insurance, consumables and lodging if needed. The M track days are fun and usually nicely appointed for meals and other activities and it’s nice to take someone else’s M car out on a skid pad. Can’t easily practice power sliding during a dealership test drive.
