I miss the track already watched hung the video. Great video chasing mooty around. Love the cup car sound!

I spun out at the same location mikymu.. No grass to cut but bunch of dragon flies were the victim.

i am finally home and can hardly see straight i am so tired! i had a great weekend with the norcal guys and PCA GGR. thanks for all the lead-follow to help me learn the track (esp Lar, i sat on his butt quite a bit to learn the lines), and thanks for feeding me! i felt the track was harder to learn than i anticipated based on the vids i watched, but every bit as much fun as everyone told me it would be. the blind crests in particular took some getting used to.

so, what is next?

Looks like you guys had fun. I'm tempted to come out there for the next event but man that drive from OC is longgggg. I'd love to ship my car up to the Sactown airport and then just drive it to the track from there.

I got that email too. After this weekend's outing at Buttonwillow, there isn't any track event until mid/late Sept which makes TH that much more tempting.

just admit it, you love it! I am so tired today and barely made it though work. This is like a real life fight club, go beat ourselves up on weekend and show up to work the next day all black and blue.

We have another Saturday Sunday combo next month at Thunderhill with NCRC 8/10-11 http://www.ncracing.org/events.php. Saturday is over top of T5 (which is alot harder to master as you and I found out) and Sunday T5 bypass. I will likely race both days and civic one day and Cup the next. If you really like pain there is another three days event 8/30 to 9/1 just like what we had - Friday NCRC and Sat, Sun PCA GGR

Drive from San Diego is not that bad ... only 8+ hours

This is what we need to get for Orlando

You guys are having all the fun there.

Talking to Mooty and looking into shipping the stinker over the summer and fly a couple of times.

Great video, a lot of fun. Mykimu, when the back started stepping out, you just lifted a little throttle, and it was enough

Fun to watch guys.

lol

Normally the *** will step out a bit then you play with throttle and steering to get it in line. This one at end of video was a quick hard wack on the butt and not much I can do other than enjoying the scenic view of Thunderhill

LOL !

This summer is too close. I need time to plan and so does my wife, she needs a lot of notice as her schedule is really tight. Already have the green light.
Only events that I really care around here is Sebring Winterfest and 48hs, but wintertime is always fun around Florida. After April I can let it go and fly over a couple times over the year.
