Hi All,

I am new the track and am wonder what the best places and groups in Northern California are to get some experience on the track. Im not looking to get my license but just to get my car out on the track for a few laps to get some experience and see what she can do!

I just signed up for a track day through hooked on driving at thunder hill. It’ll be my first time, and I kinda liked what their website laid out for first timers. Should be educational.

Hooked on Driving is one of the better outfits to get started with. They have quite a lot of information for newbies/first timers on their website that you should take advantage of.

Hooked on Driving is a solid organization who do a decent job hand holding the beginners. If you want a really good experience, my gf and I (she has a ATS-V) did Sonoma's Sears Point Racing School Stage 1 & 2 (used to be called Simracing School) you learn A LOT about the car, and they teach you everything. highly recommend it, saves you a lot of time down the road trying to figure things out yourself. If you call to schedule, ask when Brian is instructing, he's a very good instructor with a lot of credentials.

SpeedSF is another really good group to run with.
