The tech inspection was "self inspection" meaning you sign a form saying you've checked your car. There were a ton of cars on the track. I think they were saying 30 at a time?

Instruction wasn't really there. They rode with you for one session, drove your car another, and that was pretty much it. There weren't many instructors so some people just had to do Follow-The-Leader. My friends who were first-timers didn't feel very taken-care-of.

We had a good time, avoiding the kamikaze crowd and leaving the day in one piece, but won't be back. I think I'd rather pay a little more to have a nicer day.

Wow, what a mess! That's why I like CFRA (CFRA.net). Private club that is small and no yahoos. I can always bring a guest, and will be doing Sonoma and TH later this year...
