Whichever has the best AC, because I'm betting its going to be HOT.I will be there. Not sure which car I will be driving.
It's the best track for beginners in NorCal :up:I'm thinking of doing this. A real newbie on the track. This track looks like it has plenty of run off. Is there track ins. available for something like this?
Can somebody pm me a checklist of things I'll need and check for.
Absolutely. I hate sitting around...that's boring. If you don't see me, just ask anyone for me.I'll be in B group, hope I can get you to coach me if you aren't too busy Steve.
Congrats deddie, see you out there!My Lotus will be making its long-awaited return to the track on the 14th (C group).
Sounds good! :bow:Absolutely. I hate sitting around...that's boring. If you don't see me, just ask anyone for me.

Great meeting you yesterday Henry, hope you enjoyed Thunderhill.I'm thinking of doing this. A real newbie on the track. This track looks like it has plenty of run off.
I checked out your car during lunch, looks like a beast! Second track day together and still haven't met you. rotflMy Lotus will be making its long-awaited return to the track on the 14th (C group).
My bad on that, I will try to be less anti-social at the next event.I checked out your car during lunch, looks like a beast! Second track day together and still haven't met you. rotfl
The gentleman with the silver Elise was telling me you were walking away from him on the straights pretty good!
I wouldn't say anti-social, we just end up under different canopies.My bad on that, I will try to be less anti-social at the next event.
My lack of motor power was generally overcome by the awesome grip I was getting from my Nitrons and Advan A005 slicks. This was the first event on this setup (I was previously on the track pack with A048s) and could not believe the difference. I was able to carry way more corner speed (which resulted in higher exit speeds), which is likely what made Don believe my car was pulling strong.

I'm running A048's and I actually got loose on T3 which was interesting...I had to start dialing it back some there to make sure I didn't spin. I didn't want to be another incident...I was surprised as there were at least two offs and one contact (in D group).
I'm always confused on how to take T3 and T5 properly (turn-in, braking points, inside/outside line), as the rear end gets very light. Also, I'm really close to the rev limiter coming out of T2, are you just coasting there or going into 4th for a split second? Would you stay inside the whole way for T5 (bypass) the same way as T3?My T3 thoughts are that you can never be too tight on that corner. Well, you can be, but the cost of being too tight on the entry is very small compared to the costs of finding yourself out fighting the downhill slope.
