I'm compiling a list for my own purposes, but here are some links to clubs and groups that run HPDE-style open track days. Some of the sites are not quite fully populated with event application infomration and such.

One note regarding Cascade: Cascade will be integrating an HPDE element to its ICSCC license training days for "qualifed" drivers. That will be at a discount from the $149 class price and will not include the evening class session. I believe the price is $119. You need to talk to the track day organizers regarding what constitutes "qualified." Apparently I qualify to skip the class and get a check-out ride with an instructor...so I bet YOU will too.

I did not include the Puget Sound BMW club as I've been told that my SVT Focus will be automatically wait-listed since they are pretty much selling out their events with BMWs only. I did not include Porsche because, eh, I've never owned a Porsche. At least I've owned an Alfa and a BMW. (Hmmm. Now that I think of it, I might have to check the Porsche track days as well for possible back to back visits to Portland.) I did not include the NW Audi Club site because, dayyum, you guys better know how to find that on your own!

It is first come first serve for PCA members and they usually fill up pretty fast. So if you are not a memeber it might be an issue getting in. Just thought I would share this.

Also: Membership not required for NW Alfa and Cascade HPDEs.

We need to start representing with some S4's.

Also, Alfa club lets you have passengers. A nice feature for guidance and experience.

I'd be happy to see more Audis in the mix! Since last year was my first year running a car in ANY event (Audi and ProFormance), this will be my first with other groups. It's fascinating how all the different groups have different passing rules.

I will definitely be doing more of those. Thanks for posting up the links, keep 'em coming. Let's see how many sets of tires I will burn through this year!

I missed that same Dec event because my @#$% strut was blown. And KW JUST FIGURED OUT what was wrong. If I'd known how long this was going to take I would have slapped on the stock suspension! It's a long story involving the German mothership getting involved and taking a very long holiday break (resulting in everyone in the company doing the same).

Thanks for the post. I have the NW Audi club days and PCA days already on my calendar. I'm definitely going to try to get in some days with the Alfa club. I've heard lots of feedback that they are a fun group. Looks like its going to be a fun year, and I should easily get in my goal of 1 track day per month.
