Should be fun and less of a demolition derby than Altamont - the previous venue.
i wish i could go to the thunderhill one, but we dont have a car yet and most of drivers wont be able to make it.

they did bad anybody work that extends beyond the cars original body. so that means the bars around peoples wheels wont be allowed. that should help lessen the contact, as most of the offending people had cars with exterior bars.

I guess I am spoiled here in Cali. Anymore than a 3 hour drive and I consider it too far Thunderhill, Laguna Seca and Altamont are all within 3 hours of me TH is a really nice track too. LS is just more famous. Altamont is an oval with dents

Good luck John. I will be on vacation during the TH event or our team would be there in our BMW 320IS.

Looks like is too late to get something together for this year, but I could be interested in '08.

Anyone looking to pull together a team for next year? I have a tow vehicle and trailer, but no beater, yet.
