Always looking for fellow cobra owners to stretch their legs on the track, anyone track their car in Ma/ Ct area?

Absolutely however seems since Covid the tracks have not been as accessable as years past.
The tracks did try to get folks interested in their track days some time ago, seems things have changed???? :eek:

It looks like COMSCC has been running events: https://www.comscc.org/

Check out SCDA. I instruct with them. LRP, Thompson, Palmer, NHMS, NJMP, VIR, etc. most events are close to CT & Mass. Great people and lots of track time.

I will look at SCDA. I run SCCA events every 2 or 3 weeks at Thompson/ Palmer/ LimeRock. Just looking to get a group to some events.

I havent seen any change in eventls run by SCCA or dynosaur motorsports. SCCA has had events every couple weeks throughout COVID. Events now feel no different than pre COVID. Come join if interested. I am running Palmer on Sept 8th and thompson on Sept 22nd. Just ran Thompron yesterday and got lucky with weather.

I do SCCA events at Devens and Loudon as often as I can. I would love to get into NASA and/or COMSCC but it has a pretty steep cost of entry in both the training courses and the fact that for me both are very far away. So it would also require hotel stays, a truck and trailer for bringing the car (and I have neither) or I would have to drive the cobra which comes with it's own challenges with lack of roof and ability to get a roof on a challenge car when you cannot open the doors. I keep looking at the links however and it is certainly on the bucket list of things to do. In essence it becomes a person vacation weekend for me that the kids and wife won't really be doing. It's a hard sell to be something I'd do with regularity. Certainly a once a year type thing.

I have thought about NASA or COMSCC as well but have been sticking pretty much to just running the SCCA track night in America events because they are cheap and start later in the day so can get most of a workday in too. Ran both Thompson and Lime Rock this week.
