Default Private track day at Thunderhill on Friday, September 9th

Private track day Thunderhill on Friday September 9th. Open track all day with no run groups. Experienced, courteous drivers only who are comfortable with point-by passing in all corners and are at least intermediate level. $450 per driver, includes lunch. Originally planned to be a 5 mile event with a cap of 45 drivers, but I am having trouble filling, so it might drop down to the 3 mile with a cap of 35 drivers. Please PM me your email and I will send out more info Thanks!

Thanks, mooty.. Just FYI if we run the 5 mile, we will do the bypass on the west side. This eliminates the 2 hairpin turns that nobody likes. I haven't heard any complaints about the course with the bypass and I personally love running this config.
