There is but unfortunately the heavier discounts are with the current 86Cup participants. I'm working on new and incoming participants.

Is the original schedule unchanged? Asking since the one here (http://www.chronoseries.com) seems different.

Keep the schedule you have for the moment. Later dates may change due to organizers and an ongoing plan for something new and exciting in Nov.

Reminder that 2nd round for Norcal will be this Sunday at Thill West with SpeedSF!! Can we have a better turnout than Sonoma last month.

NASA will be on the East side this weekend as well, for their full race weekend. I/O Port Racing Supplies will be racing a Spec-944 Porsche944. Great time to pick his brain about race gear, helmets, etc.

I'm going this weekend but never been to the Thill West side specifically, is registration/parking and all that done on that side? Is there a separate entrance or something?

Same entrance. To get to the west side, after you sign-in, there should be a place to turn left towards the skid pad, you'll trun left there and then drive around the left side of the skidpad, up and over the hill and down to the west side. Should be plenty of places to park there.

So am I, I think. See you all tmrw. Remember, west side aka 2mile side aka new side. If you find yourself around NASA racecars, you're on the wrong side.

Thanks Ed for the truck (already called dibs for June event) and the tremendous help today!!

Pictures? Pictures...

Wasn't terribly happy with the overall quality of the images this time around. I was using my new lens and a lower shutter speed which resulted in a lot of undesirable shots. If you don't see your car, please let me know and I'll scan through the photos again. Here are a few:







These and the rest of the photos can be found here:

MAY 30th with Exclusive Track Days Thunderhill 5 Mile, to fill in May Norcal 86 Cup

A good friend of mine puts on various track days under the name “Exclusive Track Days” He is a serious enthusiast with a track addiction, and puts these events on NO PROFIT (and sometimes even a decent loss). He really just does it for the most possible track time. The average track day with him is 6-7 sessions with 25-30 minutes. The events are organized, and safe and a ton of fun!

Currently our date for the Norcal 86 Cup in May, is TBD. Yesterday, after speaking with a couple of 86 cup participants (who had already signed up for the Exclusive event) the possibility of using the 30th as the May Norcal 86 Cup, came up. We are actually already doing an even in October with Exclusive, so here is another opportunity.

I think this event in May could be serious fun, but there are a couple things:

-Although unlikely if we had enough people sign up, we would get OUR OWN RUN GROUP!!! (roughly 25 cars)
-There is no formal event timing, it would be up to anyone wanting to participate, to use their AIM SOLO, Racecapture Pro, even Harry’s, ETC.
- May 30th is a Monday, but it is memorial day weekend, so treat yourself!
-SOCAL guys, we would love to have you! I know you guys want to try the Thunderschleife!
-He needs signups ASAP so if our own run group is possible, it can be organized.
-As it is, this event will only be 3 run groups, so there is going to be a lot of driving time

If you have any interest, or any questions, please feel free to ask or let me know!

Thanks for coming out to the May event! I'm helping to put together the scores for NorCal 86 Cup. Can everyone who participated in the first three events please send me your class (Stock, Street, Mod, Unlimited) and best time for the event? A screenshot/photo of AIM solo/datalog or official transponder timing would be best. Class points can be calculated according to this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...kHv5zwEqgc/pub

Thanks!

As for the Buttonwillow 86Cup event this weekend, I will be going through pictures today and next week. Here are a few teasers I was able to do last night:

[mkivsoopra]

Thanks to everyone who came out to join us this weekend at Buttonwillow for Round 3 and Round 4 of the 2016 NorCal 86 Cup! Also thanks to our generous sponsors, Cusco-Winmax, GT Radial, Counterspace Garage, and Elite Performance, all of whom were present at the event! Despite the scorching heat, there were 25-30 participants in this combined SoCal + NorCal event, many of whom were from NorCal. The heat also took a toll on the participants and really put to test how we setup the cars. Luckily, most of us survived unscathed! Some participants finished the weekend with personal bests, others finished with new knowledge on where to improve. Overall, a very successful event, and congratulations to the winners!

Attached are the timing results and overall ranking for the first 5 events. There may be slight revisions as we iron out some details, but the standings should not change. The results for the first 3 events will be posted soon. We'll be putting together a better way to post the results next time.

Also, I've left the Round # of the events the same, even though we added a May 30 Thunderhill event between 2 and 3. We'll call that Round 2.5 for now.

Last but not least, thanks to our very own @Pwolf for coming out in this heat to take awesome pictures for us!
