Herr Mueller mentioned in a previous thread about renting Thunderhill for a private event. I would like to hear more about this. I love the idea of a 914 event there. Does not have to be exclusively 914 though. I have not been there but picked up all of their literature at the Moscone center car show. Cool story what with the f%%k you I'll build my own track concept.

The POC will be at Thunderhill Oct.8,9,10. When it gets closer I'll post info if anyone might be interested. They have a new DE class where you don't have to have a Time Trial license to run and it's less restrictive on the entry rules. Also they'll be at Laguna Seca Aug. 20 - 22.

I have asked myself how much I would pay to run Laguna Seca in a decent car. I attended the historics and the LeMans there in the last few years and I have dreams about running that track. Spec Miatas are the coolest concept. Everybody has the same car, it's the driver that matters. Andy, do you mean 3K per driver? What would that open class at the POC event at Thunderhill track run per driver?

I'm not positive on the DE class entry fees for the POC but probably about $125 per day. They are currently experimenting on offering a way to get more casual entrants that aren't ready to go full Joe Racer (or Ricky Racer if you prefer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ).

It sounds like a PCA DE event. Around here we get in a weekend for under $100.

Andy, do you mean 3K per driver?

as i said in my post, if memory serves right, it was $3000 a day to rent the track (thunderhill), including corner workers and ambulance on site ...

the track, as in all of it, the whole, complete, in one piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

split that with a few people and you have more seat-time per driver than you can handle. (read: sore rear-end at the end of the day) ...

Shoot, if there is 15 people, that means $200 a pop. Bring a BBQ and meat and fruit an shit and make it an event (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Seriously ??

It takes about 25 people to make it decent price wise...and we will probably only get a day in the middle of the week.

I noticed several people with hands raised saying "I'm in" Its a 5 hour drive from San Jose and about a 12 hour drive from Diego.

I can make it happen. We ran open track events alot in the past. I know all the people involved and could round up instructors.

I will tell you right now.. that you have to have a real racing helmet a not some BS Motorcycle crap.

Buttonwillow would be better. We would get more LA guy's and its only 3.5 hours south of San Jose. It also has a lot of runnoff room and will be cheaper to rent.

I'm in. There are a few groups running events already though (NCRC) that will run events for us if we ask them nicely. They had a very full schedule this year and are starting to run some low-rules vintage style racing as well.

I have heard that laguna is hard to get because it has a different insurance situation to the other local tracks and you need to have more stuff together to get it.

Mmmmm track time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) Got to get my Eibachs on this weekend and lower my front end some.

Fiid.
