Cooler Temps. Red Rock Roads. Time to Drive.

The summer heat is finally easing up, which means it's time to get the V's back out on some of the best roads in Southern Nevada.

Join us for our Q3 event as we start the morning with coffee, head west for a scenic cruise through Red Rock Canyon, enjoy the 13-mile scenic loop, stop for photos and views along the way, and finish with lunch at John Cutter's.

This is exactly the kind of day these cars were made for.

Amazing scenery.

Great roads.

Great cars.

And even better company.

️The Plan

☕ 10:00 AM — Meet at Starbucks

We'll gather for coffee, catch up with fellow members, and get everyone ready for the drive.

Starbucks
7050 S Durango Dr

10:30 AM — Roll Out

We'll head toward Blue Diamond and make our way to Red Rock Canyon.

Once inside the conservation area, we'll enjoy the 13-mile Scenic Drive, taking our time through the loop and stopping at scenic areas for photos and views.

This is a sightseeing cruise — not a race.

Red Rock Canyon

Expect plenty of opportunities to:

• Enjoy the incredible red-rock scenery
• Take photos of the cars
• Regroup with the chapter
• Get out and enjoy the cooler October weather

️ Lunch at John Cutter's

After completing the scenic loop, we'll head to John Cutter's for lunch compliments of the Cadillac V-Club.

NorCal Chapter SpeedSF Track Day (10/31/2026)

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 14:00:00 GMT

NorCal Sonoma

Track Day — Round 2

Saturday, October 31, 2026 Sonoma Raceway

Didn't Quite Scratch That Track-Day Itch?

Apparently one track day wasn't enough.

For anyone who came away from our last track event thinking, "I need to do that again," we're heading back out—this time to Sonoma Raceway with SpeedSF.

A few V-Club members are already registered for the Saturday, October 31 full-track event, and we're opening this up as an informal meetup for anyone else who wants to join us.

Each driver will need register directly with SpeedSF, select the appropriate run group for their experience level, and be responsible for meeting SpeedSF's vehicle, equipment, and driver requirements.

The V-Club part?

We'll have some familiar faces in the paddock, garage space to hang out between sessions, and plans for dinner together after the track goes quiet.

And yes, it’s Halloween! No tricks—just track time. Costumes may not be track-approved, but bringing a little Halloween spirit to the paddock is definitely encouraged. Who knows... we may even have a few treats waiting in the V-Club garage.

️The Track Day

SpeedSF – Sonoma Raceway Full Track

Saturday, October 31 Sonoma Raceway 103 dB sound limit

SpeedSF welcomes drivers at different experience levels and assigns appropriate run groups. The event format currently includes a 15-minute warm-up session followed by four 20-minute track sessions.

One of our members is currently registered in the Mixed Group — Point-By Recommended, Not Required.

That does not mean everyone should select that group. Choose the SpeedSF run group appropriate for your own experience.

SpeedSF Sonoma Raceway Registration

Register Early

SpeedSF currently lists the early-bird full-track price at $400/day. The early-bird pricing ends three weeks before the event or at 60% capacity, whichever comes first.

If you're interested, I wouldn't wait until the last minute—track-day run groups can fill.

MotorsportReg is currently offering a $37.50 event cancellation guarantee during registration. Which means if you need to cancel your track day it will only put you out $37.50 instead of $400. What a bargin!

SpeedSF currently requires:

Drivers and passengers to be at least 18
M2020+ or SA2020+ helmet
Tow hook or another suitable tow point
Compliance with the 103 dB sound limit
Rollover protection for convertibles

There are additional requirements for convertibles, so check the complete SpeedSF requirements before registering.

V-Club Garage

Phil has reserved a garage, so we will have a home base during the day and a space for members to fix their car if needed.

Bring a backpack, tools, helmet, snacks, extra gear—whatever you don't want sitting in the car between sessions.

We'll share the garage location with everyone attending once it's assigned.

Making a Weekend Out of It

Some of us aren't rushing home after the last session.

A few members are staying at:

Courtyard by Marriott – Novato

Friday, October 30 — Check-In Sunday, November 1 — Check-Out

Hotel reservations are individual and optional; there is not currently a V-Club room block.

️Saturday Night Dinner

Depending on interest we are opening to having a informal dinner after a full day at Sonoma.

Restaurant: TBD

Time: TBD

You don't have to stay overnight to join us for dinner.

And if you're not driving but want to come hang out with the group, we'll provide more information once our paddock/garage plans are finalized.

V-Club RSVP

Registering with the V-Club does NOT register you for the SpeedSF track day.

If you're driving, you must register separately through MotorsportReg.

Please RSVP with the V-Club too so we know:
