Default Roll Call: Thunderhill March 15th Weekend

Who's coming? A glorious 3 day weekend at beautiful Thunderhill to start the season off right! It kicks off on Friday with the Diablo region of the Porsche Club of America, continues straight thru with Hooked On Driving on Saturday, then Sunday Track Masters Racing closes out the weekend.

Stop by to say hello to the lovely Violet, #24.

I'm in for Sunday! And, I know of two other fellers, one with a 996 GT3 and the other 997.2 Carrera S, that'll be there with TMR. Porsche should be well represented.

Hey Lar, which tires are you running on Violet? Michelin Blue? Still Hoosiers? Just curious.

Violet will be wearing the very stylish Hoosier R6 shoes this weekend. There's no telling what she'll be wearing for GGR...

Ive never driven on TH and I really want to. It is just damn far from socal. Thinking about renting a trailer and hooking it up back of my SUV.

Nice to see everyone again. We were there with my GT3 and my friends' Z06 and track rat s52 e30 (that we stayed up till 3am the night before slapping together). The e30 is a blast and feels like a rocket with the short gears. Tops out at 120mph and rides the rev limiter down the main straight. Hilarious.

Hey Serge944, I didn't know you got a pic of my car! Nice. Great seeing you and your GT3 again. I saw Violet and 24Chromium that morning but didn't see him running that day. Was going to say hi and use him as a rabbit to chase all day.

That Porsche in Mike's vid sure likes to spit fire...
