I've run two events with them: one at Moroso, and one last month at Homestead. (My avatar is a pic from that event).

I don't have experience with any other club, so my opinion is, essentially, delivered in a vaccum.

I enjoyed myself immensely both days. I shared my car with a friend, who has alot more experience than me. At Homestead, he was a solo driver, and was out on the track when I was in novice class sessions in the morning and afternoon. At the end of the day, we were both utterly exhuasted, and had logged enough seat time to burn through 3 tanks of gas, a new set of brake pads (stock) and a set of 5000 mile BFG KDW's.

The $5.00/gallon fuel at Homestead is rough, but the unnacceptable alternative was to leave the premises and get less track time.

It can get a bit crowded at times, particularly when all cars are on the track. However, my instructors were great and the organizers were very much in control and ran a tight ship. Great novice event, but I'm not sure how better and more experienced drivers will like it.

My buddy did NASA's Sebring event this past weekend in his 1972 240z, and liked it better than Chin.
