You guys have totally this totally small opinion over the limit. Don't take this topic personally, it's only cars, and second of all, if you haven't run touge, don't compare or assume anything with it at all. Many people I've met have had professional instruction, the only reason we're up there is either tracks are closed, or the next road-race event is extremely far away. Right now the touge scene sucks, but back then it was pretty good. Right now however, we've got all those ricers, fast and teh furious, super-street-lovers up there crashing left and right...basically totally killing everything. The only reason they're up there is due to the fad....the "OMG it's JDM" or "I want to be like Takumi" trend. I've refrained from going lately..it really went down the hole, BUT I still however stand by my opinion. BTW: I'm not holding touge over road-racing, I'm not saying it's the in-thing and you guys should do it to be "cool" ok?
I'm not endorsing it. You people are taking this totally wrong. All I'm saying is that it's a good factor that raises interest in road racing from all those ricers...because if you think of it, those ricers/kids MIGHT be the future (not very comfortable saying that 'cuz I've seen pretty horrible people there). I was referring more to the market rather than the "soul-love" of motorsports. Like I said, you never know. GOes by steps. It's not a joke once you see some of the talent and skill displayed up there (rare nowadays, but common back then). Even Dave Coleman has been up there a few times testing out his WRX.
Recently it's been better, Buttonwillow and Willow Springs have been used by SpeedTrial, so many guys have been learning from there due to the professional instructors offering in-cockpit training sessions at every event. BUT, touge is fun, so we go there often.
Tnord, if you'd like I can give you these sites to look at.

(You can go to more sites on their links page).
Please do not label these people. They're very nice and have had lots of experience in road racing. Well not A LOT, but enough. For now though, I do hope road-racing increases so opportunities increase as well, but as everything else, it'd go step by step.

Generalized information with no experience on this, people who crash up there ask questions like these all the time. It's self-explanatory.
Last post, this is very monotonous. Have fun people.
