2024 SEPT 19. / CLASSIC CARS ONLY

Have you ever wanted to drive your classic car on a racetrack without having a modern car blast by you? We started putting on classic car track days to offer that time and space to enjoy the drive, and to hang out with like minded souls. Thunderhill West Raceway in Sacramento Valley was our playground this Fall, where we hosted our friends and their unique cars for a day of track driving to suit everybody’s style. We had the racers, those curious to try beyond road limits, and those who just want to flow at their own pace.

This being California, our community likes a 911, so we had an amazing spectrum of the much loved icon. Some equally fine mid engined Porsches, a strikingly rare Corolla, a stone cold classic Lotus 7, and our very own 1974 Opel Kadett GTE completed the grid. Blue sky, flowing curves, and fast straights. Surrounded by the cars and people that inspire us. Hours of workshop love and expertise in attendance. A shared passion. Thanks to everybody that came and made it such a day to remember. We look forward to welcoming even more of you next time. Sign up below for updates on all our events.
