I may consider Sonoma though since I'm literally right down the road. Besides, my husband's Focus has been out there and earned its sticker so it's my turn in the FR-S. (For the record, turn 2 at Sonoma in a 2012 Focus SE is a frightening experience because it almost baaaarely makes it up that incline.)

Thanks for sharing and hope to see you out there.

You're right, Thill West is some single-lane, go-kart-like mechanics required...which I could not see our cars better belonging to.

Sonoma has been a long time coming. Fortunately for the 86Cup, SpeedSF is experienced with Sonoma.

Quick question about Sonoma, will I have any issues regarding the noise restriction with a header + exhaust?

SpeedSF registration says Sonoma sound limit is 103db so you should be fine. I know some people have trouble passing sound at laguna with catless header + exhaust since their limit is around 92db

Laguna Seca has the greatest reinforcement of the db rules.

Got to an autox or a BMWCCA car control clinic (bonus points if wet). You can take a bone stock car and it costs much less than a track event. Learn to feel both the front and rear wheels sliding, and how to recover from that. Having some car control practice in a parking lot will help immensely when you get to a road course.

Just registered for Sonoma!

Just looked at the currently registered names, and there aren't very many 86 Cup people signed up. Come on guys!

I just registered for Thunderhill West with SpeedSF on 4/17. First time running with this group and I was wondering how they conduct time trials. Are they similar to NCRC?

To sign up for 86 cup, do I check the SpeedSF challenge during registration? It's an extra $20 but includes transponder and "Bonus extra session with vehicle grid by their fastest lap time".
