This is our third competitive event of the season! We'll have run groups and timing, and everyone needs to classify their cars and have car numbers on both sides. Our main goal at every event is to maximize your seat time and fun. Take passengers, ride alongs, swap cars with your friends (if you are non-compete) and have a blast.
Golden Gate Chapter is home to some of the world’s finest driving roads. Join a driving tour and come explore with us!
