Unfortunately I am not able to attend HOD any time soon, so had to sign up for this unknown organization called SpeedSF. Will report back and let you know how this goes.

One of the great things about car trackdays vs. motorcycle trackdays is instruction. I guess nowadays you can have radios in your helmet but when I was learning, it was a lot of follow-the-leader and then debrief, but no real-time critiquing.

When I used to ride motorcycles I had enough $$$ and space for a dedicated track bike. What I concluded was that I just didn't have enough $$$ to be injured and out of work, and riding motorcycles is a lot more dangerous (and fun!) than cars. A good rider on a 125cc bike can destroy someone on a 1200cc race replica. The same isn't true if you pit a Spec Miata vs. a Corvette.

Unfortunately I cannot afford/don't have enough space for a track-only car. Insurance is a good alternative, thanks for the suggestion.
