Default My experience racing at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill

This past weekend I had the opportunity to race at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill. While I wasn't driving a Porsche, there were a handful there, so hopefully this doesn't get considered OT.

I put together a recap of my experience there and thought some of you might enjoy reading it.

Thanks they are a lot of fun, but like every form of motorsports once you do one you want to do more.

Holy crap, you were in one of those!

Nice work bringing four new cars home. Very impressive, and I don't care who makes it.

It's a great little car. Impressive that in one of its first outings, a 25 hour race no less, all four finished.

Having not driven one before I can see why the prior models are so popular race cars. I started comparing running costs to my 914-6 vintage racer and then stopped when I got depressed.
