MotorsportReg.com : Online registration management tools for driving and social events

The above link has a listing for all driving events……..everywhere, but you can narrow down the list by searching x miles from your zip code.

1. Register for a driver's skills day with the Porsche club….usually held at Bremerton speedway. The is the first step and is open to anyone/car. ~$80 including SA2005 helmet rental.

2. Join either the BMW or ALPHA ROMEO car clubs (they can run with the Porsche club at the Driver's Ed days….high speed driving at Pacific Raceways)…..cost is club dependent

3. Car inspection based on the Porsche Clubs criteria ~$100. More information can be found at:
Driver Education | At the Track | PNWR | PCA

4. Sign up for a high speed or drivers education day on: MotorsportReg.com : Online registration management tools for driving and social events and pay ~$200 ish
5. Attend the ground school "seminar/class" ~2 hours and $10 and you are good to go for the track.

Essentially this is not racing but training on how to drive your car fast.

What is really cool about the "classes" is that there are some seriously high end cars that come. These people just want to experience driving their cars quickly on the track and minimize the chance of rubbing paint.

There are definitely different options out there to get on the track but the above is most of the process I went through.
