So did any of the wives show interest in hitting the track again? Just curious if track crack is as bad for women as it is for men.

The wives had a great time, but I think having other women there helped significantly. If only one wife had gone, I think that wife would have been bored. Anticipating being bored, my wife was planning on leaving early, but ended up staying the whole day. They all had enough fun where they said they would do it again, but only on a yearly basis.

An annual "bring your wife day" sounds fun. I may get mine to come next year. Does yours HT? Would also be best if it were a smaller, private event, like you did.

Are you asking if my wife can heel toe? No way. She has zero interest in learning how to as well. I agree that a 'bring your wife' event should be at a small private event unless she is really interested in getting into the sport. I can tell you ours were not. LOL.

LOL, sorry man. Maybe try Sonoma next time.
I'm probably going to be Thill'd out come march. I was invited to another private thill day in february. However, I'm going to give PCA a chance this year. Will probably do their Sonoma day in March and see how it goes.

Thanks! I'm not sure how I thought of the street fighter theme, but somehow I thought it would work.

Tempting, but then I would have to pass on Sonoma pca event. Then that would mean 3 thill days in 3 months, and another in May.... I need variety! LOL.

I got an email from diablo stating 3/21. I've never done a PCA event before. Does it make a difference which region you are registered with? Does having a PCA membership give you any a perks during registration?

just take the new route, go from T2 to T6, skip the turns in b/n.it's faster that way. dirt is part of track.
