FEELER: Thunderhill 2/26/07

Thunderhill just offered us (www.team-racing.org) an additional date for 2007 and I wanted to check with you all before I commit. The date would be Monday, February 26th and the cost would be $225 per driver. As always, the event would include morning coffee service, Gatorade and bottled water, snacks, catered (WARM) lunches, instruction, and at least two hours of track time. I need to have an answer for Thunderhill soon or they'll be giving this day to someone else. Let me know asap by either posting here or better yet, by sending me an email to bonni@weatherwax.net Thanks!

We have three run groups: A (advanced) group is for folks with seven or more track days, B (intermediate) group is for folks with 4-6 track days, and C (novice) group is for folks with three or less track days. Each group gets six 20-minute sessions. Instruction is provided (at no charge, of course) to all novice drivers. Instrucotrs are also available for more advanced groups provided the driver requests it in advance.

Just a quick note . . . registration is now OPEN! Sign up at www.onemain.com/~bonster/february.pdf To learn more about T.E.A.M. Racing events, check us out at www.team-racing.org

Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.

Yes, the event is a for sure thing. I've already mailed in the contract and the $3k deposit. We've only got about ten drivers so far, but we've had many promises as well, and some folks are supposedly bringing checks and registration forms to this Friday's event. So certainly you have time, but just don't wait too long. Once the ball gets rolling on these events, they tend to fill up fast.

Unfortunately, because of our insurance policy, we cannot allow folks who are under 18 to participate. But definitely look us up and maybe your folks can buy you a track day for your 18th birthday!

Pricing goes up on February 12th, so do act fast if you wanna come play with us!

i can vouch for bonnies track days. definetly the best track days i've been too. i've done more than i can count with her. TONS of driving time, so much i've skipped sessions b/c i was too tired. granted it was 103 degree's out. her trackdays blows others out of the water. very personable. if you have the $ its definetly worth it. i highly recommend it.

Alright, Ned!!! Don't worry about the late fee until say, Thursday. I'm gonna be out of town from Sunday-Thursday (praying for snow!). I rarely actually enforce the late fees for the Subie crowd anyway . . . I love seeing lots of Scoobs out on track. Take care, and I look forward to meeting you!
