Default Anybody have a good Thunderhill video?

Looks like I will be heading out west and running some races out there later this year and want to start getting the track into my little brain pan.

Would happily pay for a DVD mailed to me if need be.

Thanks!

Search the web and maybe the MSI guys will chime in. Let me know when you're heading out. So far Thunderhill has been my "home" track with the Corvette even though it's further than Sears or Laguna... if Bonni (bonster) is out there listening I'm sure she can point you at a lot of Thunderhill bits. You might also beg ScottyB for some hints -- I think he still holds the T1 track record!

Be careful of turn 3. It is after the left hand 180 degree turn. It is off camber and collectrs a lot of marbles so stay close to the inside curb.

It will be repaved this summer so depending on your timing there may be some changes to the above video.

Here's a couple laps



PM me an address and I'll send you a couple DVDs of about 6 sessions at Thunderhill. One session is shot from Joy of 6's (above post) car. The rest were shot from my car in the avatar.

Thanks guys! I'll be running there first at the end of August with NASA, and then again in a pretty long race with NASA in early December.

Mostly, I just like to watch a lot of video so that the first time I get out on track, I have the rough outline of where I'm going and then as I feel my way around I can start adding details.

I won't be driving a Corvette for these events, but the car I'm driving does have some vette parts on it.

While looking for some TH video, came across:
http://www.wurthmotorsports.com/V_Ho...ideos_menu.asp
Turns out the only TH is very old and CW, not the normal CCW. But
also check out the link on the left Track Video.tv and if you find any
time to get to other Nor Calif. tracks there is lots of Laguna Seca,
some of Sears Point and even a few of Reno-Fernley. Enjoy your trip
out this way.

Also came across:
http://www.opentracking.com/track_video.htm
and found a few TH laps in the mix. Some of the links are bad, sorry.
