Thunderhill is too dangerous in its design to run clockwise. The statistics are not ambiguous.

I can't imagine turn one or 17 (it's 17? right?) backwards. PARTY TIME

You're probably thinking of T15. I was just looking at the track map again. The issue is how the track has been designed to control speed through its critical segments when driven counter-clockwise, but each of these critical turns is wide open when driven clockwise. Reducing radius turns at the end of high speed segments allowing speed to build. I guess that's the recipe for disaster.

How about Turn 1?? If you early apex this one (clockwise that is), you start getting mighty close to the fence (and wall).

That said, I would love to try this someday!

7 is bad. You can carry A LOT of speed clockwise. Don't be pussies and come out.
