Tracks in Northern California and Nevada

Thunderhill - a fun and safe 15-turn, 3 mile road course. Perfect for beginners, but also the home of the 25-hours of Thunderhill, numerous motorcycle events, and a setting for several commercials (Ford GT, for example) and episodes for various car shows. This is my home track.
Reno-Fernley - the newest track in the region, with ...
Laguna Seca - a California classic, featuring the famous Andretti Hairpin and the Corkscrew, host to CART, ALMS, Trans AM, MotoGP races and more.
Infineon (Sears Point) - host to NASCAR, ALMS, Indy cars, NHRA, vintage car races and more. A twisty, hilly course that captures the essence of driving the back roads in the Sonoma and Napa county hills.
Buttonwillow - Roughly half way between the northern and southern California race cultures, it hosts SCCA and club events, and occasionally television shows such as Redline.
Willow Springs Raceway - a road course you've probably seen in many car shows.
Sacramento Raceway Park - local drag racing, motocross, and oval track racing.
Altamont Motorsports Park - host to numerous local stock car races plus the 24 Hours of Lemons.
