October – 2020

Hi NCRCers,

Autumn is upon us and some might argue it’s the best time to get out to the track, as temperatures cool and the occasional rainstorm treats us to an impromptu car control clinic. But before we fall back, let’s look back.

We’re coming off a busy month for NCRC at Laguna Seca, with three dates at the famed track in September, including an extremely rare Unlimited Sound Weekend (like a double rainbow in terms of color and rarity, but much, much, louder). We couldn’t have been happier with the turnout for the weekend, including quite a few cars we’d never seen before at Laguna, many of which were brought in from all over the country. And who will ever forget the sight of a dozen or so Legends cars on the track at the same time as a couple Lamborghini Cup Aventadors? We want to thank everyone who made the weekend possible, especially those who came out to enjoy it.

And yes, those of you who stayed late on the Sunday of the Unlimited Sound Weekend were treated to the slightly quieter spectacle of Tesla working to beat the EV record for Laguna that was briefly held by Lucid Motors. We were not allowed to discuss this at the time, which is why there was no announcement, but we certainly enjoyed watching the future of electric race cars.

Speaking of the future, we’ve got some exciting dates coming up in October! NCRC’s second and final Thunderhill 5-Mile date for 2020 is Friday, October 16. Thunderhill is a fan-favorite track, but not enough racers have experienced the 5-Mile, which really changes the experience and introduces new challenges. It’s great fun and we can’t recommend it highly enough.

After that, we’ve got a Buttonwillow weekend that straddles October and November – October 31 and November 1 – which will also allow for some spooky stories to be told in the paddock on Saturday night.

As always, thanks for your continued support of NCRC and our track partners. We’ll see you at your next track day (from a minimum six-foot distance)!
