Thunder Hill is the closest to this area, AFAIK.

Follow this link: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hunder-ii.html for a Mini only event.

Just a month away, it will be a blast.

Hope to see you there...

I can't think of any reasons not to allow him to drive your car.

Laguna Seca and Infineon are closer. Thunderhill is quite a hike.

We do track days, which is not racing, with Hooked on Driving and Track Masters.

Race, or drive on a track? Two completely different animals.
Tracks - as stated: Thunderhill/Infineon(Sears Point)/Laguna Seca) and Buttonwillow is about as far south as TH is north
For track days, check out GGLC and the others stated above.
