Tentative Schedule for 2007

The AFM has released a tentative schedule for next season. These are all weekends with Saturday practice and Sunday races, with the exception of 9/28-30, which is Friday practice, Saturday endurance race and Sunday sprint races. The new season is just around the corner so start making your plans early!

3-24/25 Buttonwillow
4-28/29 Infineon
5-26/27 Infineon
7-7/8 Thunderhill
8-18/19 Infineon
9-8/9 Thunderhill
9-28/29/30 Infineon
10-20/21 Buttonwillow

Where are these tracks? Buttonwillow is about 4 hours south of the Bay Area, nearest big town is Bakersfield. I've never ridden there but I want to try it this year. It's pretty technical and quite bumpy, so I'm told.

Thunderhill is about 2 hours north of the Bay Area, nearest big town is Sacramento. It's incredibly hot there in the summer. The track is fast, with long straights and fast corners and requires some bravery to really get good times.

Infineon Raceway (Sears Point) is about 30 minutes north of San Francisco at the start of Wine Country. Our home track and one of the most technical in the country. It's also used for national-level motorcycle and auto racing including NASCAR, whose seemingly bottomless supply of money has made all kinds of improvements possible in the spectating and paddock areas.

Cheers...
