We too are going this weekend. What are you driving? There is likely not going to be any food at the track, nor any potable water so bring plenty for each of your team members. It may be hot and it appears that any shade will be what you bring to provide it such as easy ups. We ran Thunderhill last winter at ****-Freeze-Apooloza and had a blast, but keep in mind that there will be a bunch of people out there that have never ever been on the track at all let alone taken a green flag in competition. Things like blowing horns, not having a clue what the line is let alone where it is and no racecraft or sense of it should be expected.

pray it does not rain - it makes for some spectacular mudslides in a couple of turns.
you can take the esses at the end of the front straight a lot faster than it looks at first - probably the best place to make tons of time on people unfamiliar with the track.
the track is very "rythmical" you have to exit almost every corner in a way that sets you up for the next one.
good luck and be safe!

Good time was had by all! We were in the Old Fast Auto Race Team and Son (Old F.A.R.T.S) Porsche 924S #24 that finished 27th overall. Great event, great track and lots of fantastic action over the 2 day event.
