HPDE Organizations

Theres a LRP day in March that I'm planning to go to.. HOD is a great organization and so is Chin, those guys have nice events. There's a few other groups that have private events and are a good time.

In Northern California, I've run with:

NASA - been a few years, but my memory was the fields were waaaay too packed. If you were in a point by group, you would almost never get open track in front of you. Probably the coolest and most diverse set of cars though.

NCRC - Usually run cheaper days, but I've had nothing but good experiences. Because of the price, it tends to attract the younger tuner crowd.

Hooked on Driving - Probably the most expensive group I've run with, but awesome coaching is available. And the smaller run groups really lead to some nice driving scenarios. I've had some of my favorite drives with them! Probably more coincidence of mixing it up with a similar skilled driver, but the smaller fields do allow those natural pairings/trios to form up and have lots of fun making laps together.

Thought to make a topic about the different HPDE organizations people run or have run with. This could perhaps be region-specific...I live in Connecticut.

SCDA: I usually run with them since they have a ton of events here in the Northeast (almost one per week) and most of the tracks are fairly close to me...Lime Rock, Thompson Speedway, Palmer and New Jersey Motorsport Park to a lesser extent. Overall pretty happy with them and the events are well managed, not a lot of airheads that think they’re wheel to wheel racing or ppl think that they can just cruise at 50mph on track lol.
NASA: I am a member and thought I’d give them a chance last year but they don’t have a lot of events to choose from. They are a bit cheaper than SCDA though.

I’ve also heard of Chin Track Days and Hooked on Driving but never attended. Which organizations do you guys run with?
