It’s finally that time of year again – the first weekend of December and the 25 Hours of Thunderhill.

This year I will be driving with the team from Pacific Power Motorsports in their Porsche 993 with a big 4.0 liter motor!

Thursday we will test and practice, Friday we have more testing and then qualifying in the dark at 5:15 pm. Saturday the race starts at 11:00 am and runs for 25 straight hours - 14+ in the dark.

Checking the updated entry list this morning I discovered that we are now the ONLY Porsche 911 in the race (there are 2 ½ 944’s). Flying Lizard Motorsports was registered with their RSR, but they have apparently dropped out.

This is an interesting development – 71 cars on the starting grid and only one 911. 911’s have totally dominated the first four 25 Hours of Thunderhill races.

Good luck. Bring home the hardware.

 

Wow, only 1 911? Good luck out there, hope you can continue the 911 tradition!

 

Hi from Thunderhill...

Just a reminder that the race starts at 11:00 am tomorrow (Sat.). We qualified 7th overall with a 2:02.9 in the dark.

Updates on the blog...

 

Is there anywhere online that has timing scoring/results?

How did the DP, Porvette and S2000's do?

 

Awesome, I'll definitely be following the live blog.

The car buildup deserves standalone props even without the race......!

running the hill or the bypass?

It's NASA so it's probably bypass

 

Good luck Mark. I know Greg Ross a fellow 6-cup driver, who else is on the team?...

 

WELL any updates? The guys from Impact peformance just got back and said it was quite an event. only the one porsche and that V8 powered 944 was qualified in the top 10. I wonder how they are all doing. man, it must be really cold up there! in the mid 30s here in the bay area!
