Default NorCal track event - Thunderhill

Anyone free august 2nd? Redgsrguy and I are signed up

Mid west/east coast folks just had Expo.

This is obviously no Expo but it would be great to have a few more ITR's out on the track.

I'll sign up. I'll be signing up for driver school though. I've never tracked on a actual course. Only SCCA in Marina

thunderhill west is a trip. Two different tracks.

West is highly technical (and now includes walls!).
East is fast as it's always been.

Many, many people went off on the west side yesterday trying to figure it out.

Cool track but it's a very odd dynamic now as they are two polar opposite driving experiences.

I'm at Santa Cruz. I have family in Vacaville. So i'll be staying there the night before. Before I make a payment on registration. I didn't see if RHD cars are ok to race with on the website, just to make sure. I emailed about it.

Just watched Graham Downey's video of the new track. Looks like a lot of turns to remember. Hope we don't melt in August up there.

Nice!

Where are you located? If you're close to the South Bay you can caravan up with us.

I will text you for details. I would probably prefer to drive up Friday night but I'm open.

Good meeting you Jackson, Ryan, and Rodney! Too bad we didn't get a shot with all 4 R's.

Here's a few pics from the super hot (100+ degree) event.

Thanks Rodney for the photos!
