- Yes. While Davis is not car-oriented town (Image-wise it isn't, but for all practical purposes it is, although it would never admit it.) there are motorsports people and interesting cars in our fair city. Ignoring, if you can, the occasional annoying import or "American Iron" you might see and hear around town, there are some interesting cars here. At least one new Ferrari, A Lamborghini Galardo, a couple of NSX's, at least a half-dozen cars from the muscle car era, a silver Porsche 356 (pre-1964), a green 1930's vintage roadster, a vintage Lotus Europa, a Shelby Cobra replica, a red wagon, and more. The auto-crossers in our town drive cars that look normal, but take a second look and you might notice that it is lowered, is not rolling on your typical street tires, and may even have completely gutted interiors. Also, UCD has a long running and award-winning research program (an outgrowth of their 1980's human-powered vehicle programs that produced a tandem recumbent bike that could reach speeds over 60 mph) where the students either build cars from scratch or modify production vehicles, all geared towards developing more fuel efficient vehicles. UCD also has a [http://mae.ucdavis.edu/~fsae/ Formula SAE club] that designs, builds, and races their own cars. [http://www.2bennett.com/ 2Bennett] also builds race cars and parts for Audis.

As of April 2008 the club has over 100 members, so now it is entering a new phase where it is developing a more formal structure, sponsored membership options are being explored, the bi-weekly meetings are going to be less free-form, fund raising and sponsorship programs are being developed, and a number of projects, some small, some quite ambitious, are being planned.

The club was successful in seeing that Davis was well-represented at regional SCCA Solo2 events and it increased the participation in track-day events at tracks all over northern California and Nevada. In addition, one if it's members, Ryan Flavell, organized two car shows which were held on the UCD campus, an event which there still seems to be interest in. Club activities also increased interest and participation in karting, both at the [http://www.bluemaxkartclub.com/ Blue Max] track here in Davis and at indoor facilities in Sacramento. Eventually the club ceased operating, most likely because key people graduated and moved away.

While Davis is not car-oriented town (Image-wise it isn't, but for all practical purposes it is, although it would never admit it.) there are motorsports people and interesting cars in our fair city. Ignoring, if you can, the occasional annoying import or "American Iron" you might see and hear around town, there are some interesting cars here. At least one new Ferrari, a couple of NSX's, at least a half-dozen cars from the muscle car era, a silver Porsche 356 (pre-1964), a green 1930's vintage roadster, a vintage Lotus Europa, a Shelby Cobra replica, and more. The auto-crossers in our town drive cars that look normal, but take a second look and you might notice that it is lowered, is not rolling on your typical street tires, and may even have completely gutted interiors. Also, UCD has a long running and award-winning research program (an outgrowth of their 1980's human-powered vehicle programs that produced a tandem recumbent bike that could reach speeds over 60 mph) where the students either build cars from scratch or modify production vehicles, all geared towards developing more fuel efficient vehicles. UCD also has a [http://mae.ucdavis.edu/~fsae/ Formula SAE club] that designs, builds, and races their own cars. [http://www.2bennett.com/ 2Bennett] also builds race cars and parts for Audis. Davis also has a couple of noted motorsports persons living here, such as Justin Hall ([http://www.justinracing.org/?page_id=2 Blog], [http://www.offcamberracing.com/index.html Off-camber Racing])and Becky Swafford (track record at Blue Max, SCCA club racing, an appearance in the Grand AM series), and probably more. A club like DMC might be able to bring them out of the woodwork. In addition to competition-type cars, look around and you'll see a Ford Edsel, classic Mercedes, a Lincoln Continental, a Red Flyer, and more classic and unusual cars. + + + ===Other Motorsports Clubs and Organizations in our Area=== + * [http://www.team-racing.org/ TEAM Racing] - Bonnie's "Alotta Miata" club that organizes track days all over northern California and at Reno-Fernley + * [http://www.hookedondriving.com/ Hooked on Driving] - lots of events, awesome web site, and they have produced an excellent video for people interesting in getting to the track + * [http://www.trackmasters.com/ Trackmasters] - Great group for students, and for experienced drivers looking for lots of track time + * [http://www.ncracing.org/ Northern California Racing Club] - "Simply put, we love to drive fast, just like our members, and figured out a safe and fun way to do it... and without getting thrown in jail!" + * [http://www.nasaproracing.com/norcal/ NASA] - Regional chapter of National Auto Sport Association ([https://www.nasaproracing.com/ National site]) + * [http://www.sfrscca.org/index.phtml SCCA] - Northern California section of the Sports Car Clubs of America, which offers their "[http://www.thunderhill.com/html/driving_school.html Street School]" plus race schools at [http://www.thunderhill.com/ Thunderhill].
