Default Thunderhill Open Track Day March 21, 2008 (GGLC $165)

This deal is hard to beat and you get tons of track time because you can run back to back run groups, either noivice/intermediate or intermediate/advanced. Last time I had around 10 sessions on the track. $165 for NON-MEMBERS and $145 for MEMBERS. Hope to see some more Z's out there this time.

Interesting. That's a good price for a Thill Friday, although weather is iffy. I'll keep this penciled in on the calendar...

Yep. I've run with these guys quite a bit and it's a good time. The last event I went to with them was at Buttonwillow and it was $100 because I ran the previous two events with them. I've got a new set of R-compounds and can't wait to break them in. Hope to see you there Scott.

There will be a few Z's there; at least 4 so far: Corsair's, Mistico's, mine, and a friend of mine. It should be fun. I'm going to be sick of Thunderhill by the end of March though... NASA for the weekend of 8th and 9th, Lotus club, then HookedOnDriving March 27. I think that pretty much adds up to $400+ in gas alone. Yes, daveh, I am ashamed that I will be away from my baby and burning our dwindling supply of oil.

But, I make up for it...I really do!

Please, do tell. Sean, you never told me your car 'fell off' at thunderhill. The last time I saw you, you took out a barrel at T12. I have it all on tape, and watch it every once in a while to get a good laugh

Let me guess, you are going to nickname your Z "The General Lee"?

Yup. Been signed up for a few days.

Hopefully the wheather will be on our side. I was just there on Feb 9th(green flag) and the day was clear and cool with very small groups. Got tons of track time! I was the only Z that day.

Yes, stock is fine. I did a couple like that.

You'll need good brake pads though and SS lines if you have the time to change them,

My car was stock for my first two track days. I had no problems. After that, I bought race pads and added ATE brake fluid for insurance.

I'll be coming from Sac, but we might see each other on I-5. I believe Google maps is pretty accurate...just give yourself plenty of time to get there because it always seems longer than I planned, and I barely make it to the morning drivers meeting. See you all there in a few days!
