During the chat he said we will be able to buy insurance for our cars on the track for about $200-300/day for those of us (i.e. me) who's insurance does not extend to track use.
I will post more info when Mike gets back to me with the info.

It was a lot of fun. Great cars, great people.
Next time, we really need to do a Track day like we did in the past. Driving on 101 is fun but the track is soo much more fun, exciting, and safer.
So lets maybe talk to the Racers Group and do a track day at Sears Point!!!
Keep the pics and videos coming!

The cost for the original licensed race car event is $2,750 for one day, $4,000 for both. I have no idea what the expanded class will cost, but should be around that?
Right now 6speed isn't letting me attach the pdf. I will attach it a bit later.

So I think it is so expensive because they have some big name instructors. I still can't upload the pdf so I'm going to copy paste what it says.

and two time winner at Rolex 24
at Daytona

GT Class champion
- Two instructors from the Russell
School of Racing at Infineon
Car Control Clinic
Test the limits of vehicle dynamics, chassis setup,
car control and tire adhesion in a safe and fun
environment on the Autocross course and skidpad.
Learn how driver inputs affect car control while
receiving immediate personal instruction from the
best in the business.
Tentative Schedule
Tuesday the 21st will begin at 7:30am with a
light breakfast and classroom-style discussion.
Trackside hospitality will include breakfast and
lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday night,
all participants will be treated to a wonderful
winemaker’s dinner featuring the latest Adobe Road
Winery varietals and special selections from other

Yeah, told ya those mufflers are really quiet
the oil catch can is to trap the oil from the crankcase breather. it prevents the intercooler from getting clogged. since you don't have an SC you don't need one.

Guys, I have been working with Unlimited laps to do a track day early next year. We did have over 60 porsches at Thunderhill and the cost is around $250. It was a blast and I plan to organize another one shortly.
I will keep you all updated on dates. Most likely it will be Thunderhill again.
thanks
