I'm Moving to Bay Area...

I'm moving from San Diego to southern San Francisco. What's the car scene like up there? Is there a local Porsche club (San Diego's is really nice)?

How about track days, etc.?

I'd love to get to know who's up there and come say hi when I get into town.

Another very active group is the Bay Area Rennlist (BAR) gang. Between this 6speed group and the BAR, lots to do.

not so sure about santana row, the turn out is sometimes good, sometimes not so good.

but if you want track days.... hahaha, send me an email at whitedot88 at yahoo.com i do about 35 days a year. if i didn't have to work so much, i can easily found 60 track days.

s. sf is within 2-3 hours of laguna seca, thunderhill and sears point (infineon).

Yeah, things have been quiet, but we're trying to regenerate the activity. Stay tuned.
