Sounds like FUN!! Unfortunately I signed up for HOD on July 4th at Infineon.

But I plan to do Thunderhill again, hopefully using the bypass and not the Crow's Nest. Not a fan of the Crow's Nest, it's a little Mickey Mouse for my liking. NASA seem to be the only group that runs the Bypass.

I need a track day...how's Unlimited Laps compare to HOD?

deddie- was over at Rob's shop a few weeks ago. They had your old engine apart. Is the Exige back up or will be taking the Carrera?

Would like to make Infineon for the 4th but it will family time and I'll be out of town. There are some August and Sept date I have my eye on.

Doubt I'd make it to Thunderhill until Sept or Oct. at the earliest.

Oct is a pretty good month for Thunderhill (temp wise).

With all this cool and abnormal weather we're having (rain in June!!) maybe it will be a nice summer. I'm hoping it's not 112 F in July like it was a year or so ago.

Dang, didn't realize Thunderhill has DB limits now?? Wonder why? Annoy the cows/sheep?

For anyone that is new to track events, just wanna emphasize that Thunderhill is VERY learner friendly, it's pretty rare anyone collects a wall or solid object at Thunderhill from HPDE type events, especially going CCW (as the track was designed). Great track to get one's feet wet at.

Thunderhill 6/19/09 Driver List

I think the red group is the leanest... so need more advanced drivers... but I believe that they can go to 25/group. 3 run groups. Right now the red group only has 10 drivers....

It's a very well run, no BS track day. I'll be there.

Probably taking the Carrera. I took the Carrera to THill this past weekend with HOD and had fun. Very different car on the track than the Exige. The Carrera made me appreciate the downforce of the Exige. The Carrera is a little loose in elevation changes, cross winds and hard braking. The Exige is perfectly planted. I don't want to turn the Carrera into a full time track car, but a few events a year may be warranted.

Although there is a 103db "limit" (which I believe has existed for a while), I am not aware of it ever being enforced. THill does not have a sound booth and I have been told that absent running a car without mufflers, you will be fine on sound. I do a lot of sport bike track days there and there are some extremely loud bikes.

the sound booth is between turn 14 and 15.

Yeah the 103db isn't enforced... there was a Porsche there, and that was well over 103db... It cause my brain pain everytime it went by....
