I was thinking of doing a simraceway school to get reacquainted with the track, then looking at SpeefSF events. My friend rolled with NASA at Sonoma last year and he really didn't like it, a lot of incidents and cars were 40 seconds apart in timing sharing the same run group

Well that ain't cool. NASA is supposed to be safe!

Let me guess group 2? That group has the largest difference in driver ability and more incidents because it's the first solo group, but they are still rare to occure. The time difference isn't too big of a deal if the driver's are aware of it.

from what he described it looked like an one off event that was poorly ran, FWIW he was in group 4.

I think the car count was massive and they didn't have proper instruction or briefing for some of the groups, he ended up writing a letter to NASA and they acknowledged it. Hopefully this year's event will be much better

Group 3 is always the best group as everyone wants to mind their P & Qs so they can get to group 4. Group 4 always has a couple of drivers who think they are real racecar drivers and can do stupid. That being said speed difference in that group is going to be wide as stated because you got everything from a miatas to to z06s on the track.

To bad the organizers didn't do their job. It leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
