Safety

Non-competitive - NO timing or lap scoring allowed
Track is fully staffed with USARM professional cornerworkers
Ambulance and Tow Truck on-site
Strictly enforced rules for driver conduct
Passing of other cars restricted to straight-aways (no late passes)
All cars must pass tech inspection

The Shelby club has been at Thunderhill since it's inception and helped fund it's construction. They run a fun-safe event and 99.9% of the people had a great time and fully understand why there is no passing in the turns. We encourage newcomers to come and learn to drive on the track. We provide volunteer instructors to help the guys just getting their feet wet. It sounds like this event is just not suited for the type of driving you want to do.
Maybe I should learn to read!! Obviously I didn't see the part about not passing in the turns on their webpage. It seems like a fun and well run organization. It was just a misunderstanding on our part about what it is. We are used to racing as well as track days that are completely open if you are a capable enough driver.
