Default Hooked On Driving

I was wondering if any of you people have had experience with this group. I am seriously considering joining them and getting my rig out on the track and learn its capabilities. I am doing the Nevada gig in April also.

You might get a better response to your question if you posted in the C6/Z06 section, as HOD has been around for awhile, where the C7 hasn't.

Good group conservative

Safe

Fun

I have about 50 track days in a Lotus most of those with HOD - can't wait to get the Z06 out there.

Have fun

Nick

I was at one even they ran here in the northeast and it was done pretty well. Different regions are different groups of people so I can't tell you about your region.

HOD is a great group to run with. Safety is their #1 priority. Your in the northwest region and HOD runs at all of the good tracks around there. HOD used to run at Reno-Fernely in Nevada but stopped going there a few years ago. So what track day in Nevada are you going to in April?

April 6th and 7th is when I want to go, but they never return my calls to let me schedule it. I'm ready to give up on them. That is for the Nevada gig.

I've done a few HOD events at Thunderhill, and we have a group who go extremely often. David Ray runs the organization in the Nor Cal area and does a wonderful job.

As mentioned, they place a premium on safety. They have great instructors, and it really is a very well run program.

They've recently expanded into So Cal, and since I just relocated down here I'm looking forward to doing a few events at Fontana this year.

I highly recommend HOD. Try giving David a call and I'd bet he can help hook you up. I'll see if I can dig up his contact information and send you a PM.
