I'm looking for an organization in the NYC metro area that does track days. I've looked into the SCCA, but it looks like it's quite a big commitment. Are there alternatives?

 

Moved to the regionals.

 

i've had pleasant experiences with SCDA.... www.scda1.com.... featured tracks are the glen, nhis, limerock, you get classroom instruction and a personal instructor who will ride with you and teach you the finer points of driving, these are driver educations and are not timed in anyway, or if you're into autox a good site is www.autox4u.com

 

+1 for www.scda1.com I am a personal friend of Ian's (guy who runs it) and know most of the drivers that usually instruct. Great bunch of guys who know a lot about driving, can learn a lot spending a day with them.

 

Thanks for the reccomendations guys

 

NASA, EMRA, CART, COMSCC they all do track events in the NE. I am sure I missed a few too.

 

i was gonna say EMRA...
try PDA also
for the most part I run with a PCA group but they dont let just anyone in...
you have to know someone

 

i run cart all year, bunch of great guys and always a good time...

 

Thanks for all the great suggestions folks.

 

There is also BMWCCA. There are New Jersey and New York chapters.

 

NASA has a great HPDE program to take drivers of all skill levels and get them out there learning alot and having tons of fun.

NASA NE just joined up with PDA this year and offers quite a few educational track days at awesome and historic tracks like Limerock, Watkins Glen and Pocano. I've had nothing but great experiences with them in several regions at 5 tracks so far and can't wait to get back out there albeit with my Type R:

This club used to be call the M club but name changed to http://www.motorsportsne.com.

They do many autocrosses at giants stadium. Track events are piggy backed with PDA, but our members can use lap timers for a little competitve aspect to a normal HPDE.

 

I had great experience running with the guys from EMRA.

 

EMRA, PDA, CARTCT, SCDA1, SCCA.... thats how I rate them... I can instruct you with EMRA
