Thunderhill March 9--Speed SF - Lateral-g Forums

rustomatic · #1 02-13-2018, 03:12 PM

Since SuperChevyMustangDave didn't do it yet, I thought I'd post a linky to the next track day I'll be doing/attempting (as will Dave G.), given sufficient luck and cooperative drought circumstances: https://www.speedsf.com/events/2018/3/9/thunderhill-east-3-mile/.

It's on a Friday, so you can use your vacation, retirement, sick day, or whatever, and avoid some of the stupid weekend traffic . . .

The motor is out of Old Yeller -- and is at the builder -- who conveniently managed to break his leg bad enough to require surgery....

The new Sutton car - at this point - is a body only....

I feel I have to let Dave have a private track day on Thunderhill so he can get his bearings without any pressure to perform. LOL

I can hear the lap records being broken already.

Far too much of my time spent awake includes people's excuses for why they cannot perform (no, I don't work in porn). What about the "Big Wang" car? Doesn't it need some exercise? Surely Dave could help with the belt situation (or you just don't rev it that high--calculate a bit), with some remote assistance via Skype or something from Ron S. . . .

Can we at least use the garage for sun/rain protection/beer storage?

You're probably right in not going. We'll probably need snow tires.

You won't need the garage -- Dave doesn't use tools....

Big Wang needs the power rack that is here with me in Eye De Ho.....

After I spent a grand on a new belt tensioner it seems to be fine now.... It was just typical of a car I buy from Charley.....

Good work Paul. I was meaning to post something up.

As I told Paul, I ran with Speed SF in December at Laguna Seca and was impressed with them. They take the driver meeting seriously and run a nice tight ship. They also don't overload the day with too many cars. Both things Norcal Shelby is not too great at.

Of course when you're a professional like Weld your attendance is not required at the driver meetings.

First time at Thunderhill... looking forward to it.

I havent been on this forum in quite some time now but Basher mentioned to me that a few of these Lateral G guys do actually use their junk. I log on and low and behold you actually do!!

I am going to try and make it down to T-Hill for this if some parts show up in the next few weeks.

For those of you that live near there, is the weather usually pretty nice? I would love it if you said dry...Oregon is monsooning today.

Looking forward to meeting some new people as well.
