I just got one of this month's bathroom reading, and it stated the JGTC (Japanese Grand Touring Championship I believe) will be holding an event on December 18 and 19th at the California Speedway in Fontana. There are supposed to be a number of various events, including drift events and the ability to be taken for laps on Sunday (19th) [description of events: http://www.jgtcusa.net/gtlive_event.html]
If you are unfamiliar with this series, it is a 2 division series in Japan (likened to Nascar here in the states, but really more like the Speed World Challenge) that's run on a road course using modified production cars. So, it is a bunch of Skylines, Supras, RX7's, NSX's, MR2's, S2000's (as well as some Porsches, Corvettes and a Viper last time I watched it) battling it out. Pretty cool IMO.
Here is more info. Tickets are $35 for a day & $50 for both days: http://www.jgtcusa.net/home.html
Here is the main JGTC website: http://www.jgtc.net/index_en.htm
Any one else interested? Any one want to caravan???
