Default Two Laps at Thunderhill (video)

OK, this my first posted video. If you are looking for record lap times, driving tips, or any semblance of brilliance from the driver's seat, you are looking at the wrong video. But, I sure had fun. This was my first time at Thunderhill Race Park in Willows, CA., what a great facility.

Thunderhill is a terrific facility and a really fun track to drive. Will we see you at PIR anytime soon? Cascade Sports Car Club is having a day on June 15.

Great video, driving was really smooth. Not much traffic, looked like a fun session. What camcorder do you use? You have a pretty sharp image capture..

I'm signed up for the June 22nd Track Day sponsored by the Alpha Romeo Club. Is June 15th SCCA?

I'm using a Panasonic GS-180 with a .60 Kodak wide angle mounted to my Hardbar harness bar.

June 15 is Cascade Sports Car Club. I think they also have a race on Saturday, but Friday is just HPDE. I have driven with them a bunch and they run a good program. Also we will be down to PIR for the Rose City Corvette day on July 30. That should be terrific. NCRC (Northern California Racing Club) has a weekend at Thunderhill in October or maybe it is September that we will definately be attending. Like to see lots of Corvettes out there.
