Hey all,
As a service to track newbies and veterans alike. I thought it would be a good idea to list track event organizers who hold events in the NorCal area. These clubs all hold HPDE or Open Track type events at one or more of these NoCal(ish) tracks.

Infineon, Laguna, Thunderhill, Buttonwillow or Reno.

Finding an event I could actually goto was my biggest challenge when I started out. After my first event it didnt' take much persuasion

I have not personally attended an event held by each of the organizations (been to ~50%) so I can not attest to individual organizations. However, please note that this is only a list to encourage folks to go, discuss pros /cons of individual clubs in a separate thread (or poll?). Please reply if I missed any.

Someone else care to do other regions? Id like to change the title to just "Track Event Organizers"

We should see if we can get a sticky for this.. and divide it up into regions.. Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, etc.. then everyone that comes in can have a good list to pick from.

I will start the Southeast list..

Also.. wherever you are, www.trackschedule.com is a great resource.
