Im from L.A and moved up here a while ago and i dont know a lot about tracks(if any) around san jose. i know of the one in Sac. because all my friends race( they only drive FF cars) at that 1/4 mile track. Ive hear of a track near tracy and one by San Francisco but can't find anything on either one. If you know where it is or know of good spots let me know!!!

THANKS!!!!

i got to thunderhill to drift since they seem to have the most events, also stockton 99 is closer than that, and then i guess buttonwillow, i dont know of any other places or ones that are close to you down there, those forums are good places for info though
