Thunderhill this Friday w/ FCA

Anyone going to Thunderhill this Friday the 21st. The event is put on by Ferrari Club of America.

I just found out about it today.

I'm seriously thinking of going. $275/ fire extinguisher/ SA95 helmet, and, of course, a Ferrari.

 

I met Dave Wilson yesterday, who told me about it. Funny, he told me $250. *really* nice guy. I was hanging out @ Tony's when he showed up. Started peeking at the 550, said he wanted to buy one. I let him drive mine (MAN can he drive!)...took it up to his place on skyline and back down.

I am debating showing up - problem is that with Thunderhill, it's far away enough where staying the night before it probably a good idea. That means you leave early on Thanksgiving eve...not exactly a possibility.

Because of the timing, there should be a lot of open spots, though.

Yes, Dave can drive a bit.
Dan, Its this comming friday, not thanksgiving eve.
$250 for FCA members, otherwise $275.
Unfortunatly I've let mymembership lapse.

I leave here (Los Altos) about 5:00 am, get there in plenty of time.

Just found out from the boss I can go, so I'll be there.

It takes me a little over three hours, should only take you about 2 hours at the speed you go

 

Will they run this in the rain? Dan let me know if you're going.

Good point Art, Just checked, and it doesn't look great. I'll hold off till early Fri. AM to decide.
I believe they will run in the rain, but I won't.

 

Art: I am debating it still, and as Dave mentioned, rain might make it worse.

Right now it looks like a no-go. Are you karting this weekend?

--Dan

 

Should have gone, not a cloud in the sky. tons of track time. I'm glad I went

 

Hey Dave, I've never been up there, how long a drive is it from Los Altos?

Depends on traffic, I left at 5:00, got there at 7:30. comming home took about 3 1/2 hours. I usually allow 3 hours each way.
