...the Bay Area is pretty large...would be helpful to know what city you are in. I do a majority of my own work but take my car to Rob at Z Car Garage for major stuff like clutches, timing belt work etc. I just don't have the time to tackle those projects and stay sane anymore. Sonoma raceway and Thunderhill host hpde events with various groups. We take out racecar to both but I only track my Z at Sonoma because it is closer and usually only do one day hpde events. There's one coming up with trackmaster at the end of November I believe. I'm in north bay and am happy to chime in or head out for a drive once in a while. Welcome to the area!
