It's a very slippery slope....

I did 3 weekends this year and can't wait for the next one in January. I expect i will get signed off for solo at that one.

you are lucky with such a great track so close.

Autocross is a lot of fun, but nothing beats continuous lapping.

Now just need to find a 2nd job to pay for my hobby(addiction)

Jay,

I agree, I am very fortunate to have such a great, Historic track so close. Do you run with Hooked on Driving? So. Cal. Track I assume, or do you come north to run?

I ran every autocross with PCA Golden Gate region since I bought my car last April, and an autocross school they offered in August (8 events total). Continuous lapping is definitely more expensive in raw dollars per event, but it gets closer in terms of $ per minute of driving. Although I am pretty sure this day cost more that all 8 autocross events combined (throw away all receipts, right . Maybe all this auto-cross helped with being terrified at my first track day, and I must admit I was a bit nervous about the Andretti Hairpin and the Corkscrew the first few laps, but by the end of the day I had moved my brake point a bit deeper on both.
