We'll see how I do. It'll be interesting.

I was there with the first group to ever do a day there. It was very fun but the track was so slippery that it only whetted my taste for it! I'm really excited for the 24th and 25th when I will get to feel it with full traction!

And yes, it is very technical, lots of different types of corners/features and great for momentum cars!

As far as Laguna goes, those midweek ones can be hard to get time for. Also, I don't really want to spend a vacation day for Laguna :p

8/2-3 is this new or old track?

Same old track that we've come to know so well.

Does anyone know if there is air at the track?

Yes there is. They have a tire shop.

NCRC has an air pump near the clubhouse for whomever drives by. At least they have every time I went. A small one, so no air tools or anything. Good for tires.

Ok, someone on here will know what to do....

after thunderhill yesterday with 104 degrees on the last 4 runs, my engine temp has been close to the middle.

Thought it would go back down, but it's in the same spot.

Advice?

The water temp needle will always be slightly under the half way mark. It's normal as fog in Daly City.

Assuming you are asking about T-Hill, there is also air over at the track's workshop. That one has the advantage of still being on even after most people have left (so it is good if you have one of the last runs of the day and want to let the tires cool off before filling them).

There are technically 3 places for air

* Tire shop.
* In front of the Thunderhill Grill. Small and it's not always there (or on).
* The warehouse allllll the way toward the end (toward T14 and T15).

I think I want to retire in Willows, CA. Go to track days a few times a week. Houses there are cheap.

Yeah, cause you're living out in the middle of no where. The new 5 mile course is awesome. I wouldn't mind living closer instead of driving 2.5 miles each time.

I'd rather live within 1 mile of the track!
