    Great price. Too bad it's a Monday before AMVIV. But I am eyeballing some of those weekend Buttonwilliow days.

    Yeah that $49 Buttonwillow day is just the wrong time for MINI's headed for AMVIV, but the other days even at $99 would work. Does that include timing devices? Too bad no Willow Springs dates but this is a NorCal based group.

    Craig, it looks like pricing for the other events varies. E.g., the Laguna Seca events are about $180 I think.

    Still, seems like a good deal, and well organized. My only concern would be that no instructors are allowed in convertibles, so no way to get 1-on-1 instruction, or advance to the next run group in a ragtop. Guess someone else's car could be borrowed?

    Of course, my interest is only hypothetical at this point anyway... Just bought a new house, and will be eating PB&Js, Kraft Dinner, and ramen for quite a while!

    Yup, but all others times are only $99 at Buttonwillow.
    Laguna Seca $159-$179
    Infineon $179
    Thunderhill $125
    And it is Five 25 minutes sessions, except Laguna. You can bring passenger too if they are "instructing" you. Yeah lotta tracks, clubs, sanctioning bodies are shutting the door on convertibles w/o full cages.:frown5: For TT, NCRC uses an AMB timing device for more efficient scoring, and has transponders available to rent at the track. Hopefully some Willow Springs dates in the future.

    An event the week before my spring break, and an event the week after... drat!

    Those dates in June are looking a little tempting though.. Do people offer couches to crash on to keep the out-of-state costs down? :wink5:
