I'm looking into doing a couple of track days at Thunderhill next month. Does anyone know of a shop or team renting a track car or race car with two seats? This is a BMW event and they require an instructor in the car, at least in the beginning.

Thanks for any leads.

Contact Larry Oka Racing (a quick google) though I'm not sure if that particular day is on his schedule or not.

Or Al Angulo (PM me if you want his phone number)

Michael,

I have a Spec Miata with two seats available for rent. If you'd like to discuss please PM me

Cheers,

Jaime

Or depending on your size I might be interested in renting and supporting our car...I say this for seat reasons! PM me if you like.
I can also recommend Randy Evens Racing...not sure if that is the exact name but again I can send you his number also!

Not sure what you want for a BMW event but..
Those are good for Miatas^^

Tim has some E30's

Looking for exact same thing for Nov 18 of 2013.  A miata or bmw is fine as long as it can be at the track ready to run for the day - ts purely to learn the track in prep for the 25h.  Thanks!

TFB has both E30s and Miatas iirc.  He may also be able to do coaching and data.

Word to the wise: the Golden Gate BMW CCA track day folks aren't Spec Miata friendly.

This is absolutely not true.  I instruct with them and both bring my SM and sit right-seat in SMs and other race cars.  

 

It is true that it is a structured HPDE event so they don't tolerate racing-like behavior but in the A group there is open passing with a point.  Expect the pace to be overall slow like any HPDE.  

 

SFR has a race the Oct 18-20 weekend which includes a separate 4-hour enduro.  You could get all the track time you want.  The enduro is a 1-day only deal with practice in the morning and race early in the day.  It's part of the Thunderhill 20th Anniversary Celebration and there will be a track walk on the new West circuit (which is now mostly graded).  More info here: http://sfrscca.MotorsportReg.com/

Mike,

 

Summer before last I rented an E30 from a young man named Barbur who has a shop at Sears Point.  Nice guy, car ran well, no complaints and the cost was reasonable.

 

He brought up multiple E30's for my friend's track day.

That's Tim Barber/TFB.  Charlie Hayes also works there whom you may know.  They are crazy (in a good way) and have competitive cars available:

We are crazy.

Give us a call, the e30 has two seats and gets the job done. Can get another car if needed.

[Glenn Davis]

you have to rent such car, maybe you should try this car rental service or google

Perhaps the funniest Spam I've ever seen.  Will you trailer from Armenia to Thunderhill?
