How much do track days at Infineon typically cost?

I'm going to be moving up to Sunnyvale soon, so I'll be within reasonable distance from Infineon. Laguna Seca typically runs mid-high 300's and up into 400's sometimes. Does anyone know what Infineon days usually run?

What about TrackMasters? I've already been "approved" by them, and Nasa requires a $50 membership fee on top of the track day, not exactly a bank breaker of a fee, but still a fee.

TMR also has quite a few events scheduled for the fall, but no prices up yet (hence this thread).

Can anyone confirm the safety class claim? If it's true, what constitutes a "safety class"? Most track day organizations have in-car instructors available for n00b class drivers, does that count? I mean, I thought HPDE's were for learning your car.

I did two track days(sat-sun) there back in Feb of last year with nasa, and i didn't have to take any safety class. They provide a instructor to ride with you if it's your first track day with them. It was only about $300 for the weekend plus a nasa membership fee for the year. It's a fun track!

Never heard of that before, but I go there with NASA so maybe it is different with different clubs.

I can't make it to the EQ track day on 6/23 if you want my spot. That was only $200 and T-Hill is my favorite track.

Thanks, but I'll just have gotten back from Orange County the day before, so I'll be exhausted And there is stuff I want to do to the car before going to the track, like new rotors. Thanks for the offer though

No worries and good for you to consider being too tired! Not many people think of this but it's REALLY important to get lots of rest and make sure you eat/drink right before and during a track day. I'm usually pretty beat at the end.
