I really enjoy SCCA races, except they usually have no social aspect.
Go, race, go home. I plan to do a lot of them next year with the Ambro
while I'm getting it dialed in. Even better around here are the ICSSC

a rolling chicane. They have the best drivers schools around--and a
real bargain. I take one every few years, always learn a ton.
