Default THUNDERHILL NCM HPDE - Whos going?

I'll be leaving Seattle Tuesday evening with trailer in tow. Who else is going to be there? Sounds like it will be cooling off a little to around 95* (My car and I prefer 65*).

Hope the Michelin slicks arrive and mount up with no problems.

Hi Dean, wish I could meet you there. Sad to say, nothing has changed at work so I can't get off

Keep us informed on the trip - and pics too!

Even though it's somewhat local for me, work is sending me out of town. :-(

Maybe you could drop off your car at the track for a "loaner"? We would take real good car of it

I'll be there Thursday and Friday.

Sorry Bob . . . just saw this . . . but yes, there are open spots. If you're unsure, I'm sure you can just show up. I'm gonna miss the "mystery drive" because I'm working at the teen clinic Wednesday, but I'm looking forward to meeting and hearing Tom Wallace.

I'm already signed up; I did it a couple weeks ago.

Actually I was wondering about the car counts. Will the track be crowded with 25 plus per run group? I'm starting to drive pretty fast now, so I signed up for the Racers/Advanced group. I'm a little worried they may be a lot faster than me though. So I might decide on Thursday that I want to move down into group C. If the groups are really full, that could be a problem.

Bob, Hope you had a great time. The HOD advanced groups are usually
not that agressive, compared to SV or even NCRC or TM. You should have
a nice time and hope some of the Bay Area cool drifts up that way.
