One of these days... I'm gonna take a couple of week days off and go up there.

I hope it's this year!

For those people in Northern California/ Bay area who have never been to Thunderhill, it is a great track for drivers of all experiance levels.

Does the SAMOA track day have instructors available? I want to take my wife and her new 328I to the track but she would need an instructor to get her to safely push the car.

Sounds like a great cause and fun event.

Sorry no instructors this time. Advanced and intermediate drivers only. Details at
http://www.gotgutsatthunderhill.com/registration.html. Since we only put this event on once a year, we don't have a group of pre-qualified instructors like Bonni and some other groups have, and adding a novice group would have just presented some unacceptable risks for all concerned. Maybe next year we will make some kind of reciprocal arrangement with those other groups.

Oh well, I might sign up and go by myself. For $235 that is a lot of track time and with 25-30 cars per group the track should be fairly open. Sounds like a blast.

Thanks

Highway8, a great event to get your wife some instruction would be at the TEAM Racing event on April 4th. at Thunderhill. Bonni puts on a good, safe trackday with excellent instructors.

Hooked on Driving has donated 2 free track days to our raffle. NASA has donated 5. Bonni (TEAM Racing) has donated 2. You could win a couple year's worth of free track days.

In case anyone sends in a payment this week or over the weekend and doesn't get an email confirmation... not to worry. I'm out of town until Monday morning. I'll add everyone to the driver list by Monday PM and confirm to you by email.

The Got Gots event at thunderhill was great. Only 3 RX8's out there which was disapointing. The weather was great and I had a total of 2.5 Hours of quality track time for $235. The best deal I have found so far.

Thanks

I'm glad you had a good time Highway8. Everyone went home in one piece too. Check out Bonni's events at www.team-racing.org for inexpensive quality track time as well.
