Hi All,
Preliminary word from Susan and Marc at Deveks. In
conjunction with their get together at the shop, they will
be hosting a group of interested drivers at Thunderhill on
the 4th, which is Friday. We asked for a minimum of 20
cars. All this is still being finalized, but this is an
early warning for us NW folks (I am helping organize, so we
should get something out of it, right?) The cost will be
somewhere around $200 with lunch and drinks, probably.
Instruction will be available. The track has race-gas, air,
corner workers, medical personell, etc.
If you really want to get to know your car, and your
fellow owners of 928's, you should get on the track with
them both. You WILL learn something, and have a bunch of
fun doing it. Thunderhill is a really safe track, no walls
or trees or guardrails, nice and wide...I am sure the
emphasis will be on saftey and fun... The atmosphere is very
relaxed, great track workers, out in the country, but bring
an umbrella(you all have one of those, right?) cause it's
hot and not much shade. For a look at the track try their
website at: .
I just made the drive last weekend. 10 hours is a good
figure from Portland. I took my GT on a trailer easily in
that time. Thunderhill is about 2 1/2 hours from the shop(
+/-).
If there is interest, I can get a block of rooms at
Willows, the little town about 5 miles from the track on
I-5. I have stayed at a good motel with secure parking, a
good resturant, pool, etc. and they are used to racers and
groups.
I plan on leaving Thurs. AM, fairly early, driving to
Willows, having dinner and a good nights sleep, then the
track for the day. Maybe on to Deveks that afternoon, or
wait till the morning.
Get in touch with me, for now, with questions. Deveks
will be posting something to Rennlist when we get it all
finalized, but in the mean time they don't need the extra
work(leave them alone--they have to get my car done for
Virginia City this weekend) Don
