I was invited to join the TEAM (track events, alotta Miatas) at Thunderhill. I have run Thunderhill in my Seven but it was some time ago. I spent time re-learing the track and getting to know the Elise. It was tremendous fun.
I have run a couple of autocrosses and found the car well balanced with the LSS package. Thunderhill has many blind corners and several crests which can unsettle the car dramatically. There are also a couple of off camber turns. It is a technical track and great fun in an Elise. Never once did I feel the Elise was unsettled. I always felt in control and my limits were reached long before the Elise's. I even hit 127 mph on the front straight!
I have more pictures, a description of a lap at the track, and some observations on my website at:

This car is absolutely amazing! I have not had this much fun in a long time...
