+1 on that. Z.O.N.C. is a good way to connect with others for drives and meets.

I drive my Silver 2011 370Z to Fremont once a week. (Usually friday)

Z.O.N.C. has a calendar of run events around Northern California. Others have mentioned a rally group that meets on the tarmac at the Monterey airport (I don't recall the name right now. Have to google it...)

I've also had someone recommend the BMW owners clubs saying they accept all makes/models at their rally events.

And you're welcome to propose a time and route of your own. I did that with some friends from work and got a couple more people to show up from posting here. I'd be interested in joining in a drive.

If you want to try your car on the track, I recommend Track Masters Racing or Your Private Track Day. But they havn't posted the 2012 schedules yet. I will say that Laguna Seca was a blast! And I'm looking forward to doing some Rally events where I can disable the traction control without fear of going into the gravel. If you are interested, Track Masters may still have openings at Laguna Seca on Friday Dec 16th. Both TM and YPTD events include driving instructors that can ride along and help you learn the track.
