At Thom's suggestion, I forwarded this link to the Sacramento BMW M-car list. Hopefully we'll stir up some additional interest, as long as you Porsche snobs don't mind running alongside some BMWs...

If I'm in the country at the time, I'd definitely be interested too.

40 cars?

i'd rather pay a little more to have less cars on the track...

I know not all 40 cars would be on the track at one time, but I guess I'm greedy

(spent all day at T-hill about a month ago.....only two cars all day, the guy that rented the track and the car we took...drove so much we called it a day at 4pm due to being too tired to drive hard anymore)

I'm in and count on me to bring another 3-4 cars.

I highly suggest running this in conjunction with another group.

We have about 6-8 run groups that regulary rent Thill.

I would be highly surprised if they had any open dates.

Oh... with 30 cars.. it will be about 185$ per car. You have to pay for the workers and ambulance.

A friend belongs to the Checkered Flag Racing Assoc. They are based out of Thunderhill. If you wanted another group to hook up with they might be a good choice. They have a web site at: www.crfa.net Good luck and keep the shiny side up.

Checkered flag, Green flag, PDC, Team Yahoo, Lotus club, NCRC, Audi club, donutz, and numerous other clubs rent all the local NorCal tracks.

If I had the money (always the issue) we could run once a week for 52 weeks out of the year.

Most of these run groups require prior track experiance if not licenses for SCCA/PCA/POC/NASA.

You dont just show up and run.

R Gruppe is in

I can probably bring you at least 10-15 early 911 cars if you give us enough lead time to round em' up. Maybe more if I tell em' I'm doing the R Gruppe get together at Willows. Stay in touch with me via e-mail: rgruppe911@hotmail.com

p.s. as long as R Gruppe assumes no liability for any one, I'll bring the guys with the cars. Even a couple of RS and who knows, maybe an RSR too. we'll see.
