Topic: Test day @ thunderhill only weeks before the Arse-freeze!!

My buddies at the Golden Gate Volvo Club are having a track day on Thursday the 5th of November.    Lots of track time and a great price... they are having a tough time filling it up and are in danger of canceling ...  So you Lemons guys who need to learn the track or need to test your shitcan should check it out.     

     Standard Disclaimer-   I'm not running the thing, nor will I profit from it, Indeed, we'll be there, spending money testing......

   Ya'll should go.... testing is important..  That 6-71 blower on your  Festiva may or may not be too much, how are you going to know?   

  These guys put on a great track day with lots of track time and have no problem with us and our piles of crap, no pretense, they are not marque snobs.  You don't have to have a Volvo....

    -John

Hot damn, road trip! Anyone else going? My neighbors are getting tired of me testing around town. I've resorted to zipping up and down 280 in rush hour traffic for realism, and so people stop making their dogs pee on my lawn.

I think we'll drive the B up there and work on our passing game. (And of course by passing game I mean point-bys)

You don't even need a Volvolet, huh?

Hey John - I see it's $235 for non-members.  Is that the price for the team, or would each of my guys have to pony up?  We'd be bringing just the crapcan.

Re: Test day @ thunderhill only weeks before the Arse-freeze!!

Guys don't let the price fool you....I ran with them last January and got PLENTY of track time....there was a grand total of 25 cars there in 3 classes with 12 in the advanced group....at the end of the day they run a TWO HOUR open session....where you could in theory stay out for the entire two hours...in my two hour session there was a grand total of 4 cars that stayed out.....myself, a Porsche 914 and two Honda's....

I'll be there again......but which car I will be driving is still in the air?
