Got Guts At Thunderhill II - April 23, 2007

Got Guts at Thunderhill II is now officially on the track docket. It will be held on Monday, April 23, 2007, at Thunderhill Park in Willows, California. Last June more than 70 drivers made the original track event a success. Through your registration, contributions and raffle ticket purchases, we raised more than $10,000 for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (www.ccfa.org). Next year I hope to at least match that total.

The driver fee for GGATII is only up slightly, to $225. In 2007 we will again have 3 run groups, one (1) advanced group (30 drivers) and two (2) intermediate groups (25 drivers each), so you can still expect more than two hours of track time. And of course lunch and refreshments will be provided. The minimum experience requirement will be two (2) prior track days … instructors will not be provided. And of course, the raffle next year will be even bigger than last June’s event.

The website at www.gotgutsatthunderhill.com has been updated, and we are now accepting registrations. I know, its early, but last summer I had to turn away more than two dozen drivers. So if you want to ensure a spot, please don’t wait until the last minute. Contact me at freescopesdad@comcast.net if you need more information. See you at the track.

Just a friendly reminder, in case this track day suits your schedule. GGATII is just 3 months away, and registrations are currently being accepted. We are running only 3 groups and the cost is just $225 for more than 2 hours of quality track time. Log on the website and check out the raffle prize list as well.

Just about 2 months out and registrations are starting to come in daily. Don't miss out on a spot in your favorite run group. Send me an email if you plan to attend, and if things are getting tight and I haven't heard back from you, I'll drop you a line so you won't miss out. Oh, and check out the love in the April 2007 GRM (page 16). Thanks.

Ron

Hey gang, just an FYI... our advanced group is now 44% full and intermediate group B1 is now closed... our second intermediate group B2 is now being assigned drivers. Thanks for your support, see you in April.

30 days to go... and we have an even 50 drivers signed up so far. There are 10 advanced slots left and 20 intermediate spaces. We are ahead of last year's pace and we sold out that event, so don't wait too long if you plan to be with us on April 23rd. So far only 1 RX-7, a 94. Go to www.gotgutsatthunderhill.com/registration.html to sign up.

A few days left...

I thought there were other rotorheads on here with some track experience, this event offers tons of seat time on a great road course and it's for a good cause!

I'm going up with 3 others, an '04 Z06, mustang cobra and a "66 fastback mustang set up for road racing. We'll all have cameras in the cars, and I can't wait for it to get here so I can let the FD do what it was built to do!!!

There's still time to get in if you can make it... Hope to see some other sevens there!

Bob

Here is a video I put together of my trip to thill a couple of weeks ago. I can't afford two track days that close together, or else I'd consider going...

Definitely a fun track
