Below is a recounting of various car events I've attended along the years, from car club meets, autocrosses, track events, and enthusiast drives.

2002/05/11 NASA weekend at Thunderhill

Man, it was a zoo

. I know thunderhill, but with all the cars, trucks, RVs, and such, it was barely recognizable.

The event wasn't near as bad as the previous event at Sears Point, but still NASA has a bad habit of just allowing too many people to sign up at once, to the point where the track is near unusable due to the number of cars on the track at the same time.
Because the second day was mother's day, that day was actually better as many people didn't stick around for the second day

It was fun however to see all the different cars, from formula Ford to Spec Miata and mini cooper.

The many picts I took are here

2002/05/18 Dr Wong's Driving Clinic

It had been a while since I had been to a drive. It was rather uneventful (which is a good thing

) except for that moron in an X5 SUV that tried to pass us on the right, off road, and ended up getting stuck right in front of me, blocking my view.
Of course, the fact that we were stuck behind 2 or 3 weekend drivers on 9, who never fathomed the idea of pulling over, didn't exactly help. Oh well...
The picts are here
