Aug 5, Thunderhill track time.

I have rented the track at Thunderhill for August 5th (Thursday). Just a private track day. I have some spots available if anyone wants to come out for the afternoon. Price is going to be about $300 per bike. I know it's a bit expensive but there are only about 5-10 of us on the track for the whole day. Good chance for the beginner to get out and try some easy track sessions or the more advanced rider to practice. Be forwarned, the few people that are going are mostly inexperienced/intermediate riders and will be going slow on the track in the morning. Hopefully getting faster as the day goes on. I have the track from 9am-5pm with an hour break for lunch. It will be an open track day so you can come on and off the track at your discretion all day long. If your interested... call me on my cell at 916-212-7184.

Even better deal now! Wish it was just around the corner to me, or next week so I'd have some time to get ready. After watching that video of T-hill, I'm wanting to get up there . Have fun.

SPEED.

Re: Aug 5, Thunderhill track time.

I'd jump on it if I had a little more notice...covering the boss at work this week. Old guy, keep me in mind if you do this again sometime. I'd fit right in with that group.

Re: Aug 5, Thunderhill track time.

I'd really like to go, but the price is a little high, the wife already let me go on the 22nd, and is letting me go again on the 26th, I don't think that I could convince her to let me go twice in on month. Keep us all in mind for the next time!
