Thunderhill Track Day Dec 15th

Hi folks,
Last year, I rented out Thunderhill Raceway (up in Willows, CA) and a group of about 20 of us had the track to ourselves all day. We rented it out again this year, and have the track all day on December 15th. So far we have 20 drivers signed up, and have space for about 5 more. If anyone is interested, please PM me and I can give you details. The cost is about $250 per driver. This gets you as many hours out on the track as you can possibly handle. We usually split the group into two running groups...........one more experienced, the other for first timers or those with less experience. We then run 20min to half hour sessions back to back all day long. (We go over rules and regs up front and offer some instruction from the more experienced drivers in the group for newbies if they want it)
This year we have a good selection of cars coming spanning daily drivers all the way to the new M3s and a GTR. (We encourage the group to ride in each others cars to get different car and skill level experiences) A bunch of us usually head up the night before and have dinner in Willows to hang out and talk car stuff before the track day. The track is staffed with full corner workers, ambulance and safety vehicles (required for insurance purposes, but never needed) We run a good show with strict passing rules and generally the same precautions as the BMW CCA events.
The track was recently resurfaced, so its in tip top shape. Promises to be awesome, and for unlimited track time at $250 (on a quality track like Thunderhill) its about as good a deal as you can get, so let me know if you're interested
