Hi! This thread is for anyone with interest in attending open-track events at Willow Springs Raceway under the guidance, supervision, and participation of current and former driving professionals, including free class-instruction by Skip Barber associates - and, did I mention the free lunch?! For $155, you get five 30-minute sessions on the track (beginner, intermediate or advanced run-groups), instruction at no extra cost, photo opportunities, lunch, networking opportunities, and one helluva permanent experience to take home!
*If you want to come up just to hang out and/or ride along with friends, all you need is $10 to get in the gate, some cash for food if you want lunch, and a helmet.*
Open Track Racing is a non-profit organization that lends endearing educational opportunities of the physics of car control and hands-on technique to the
max on the high-speed race track, Big Willow - "the Fastest Road in the West."
Here is their website, followed by the direct link to register. You can find more information, photo galleries, videos, and more:

Next OTR event is Wednesday, September 19, 2012, so if anyone else is going, then post!
