[QUOTE]Originally posted by 1Sicgt: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Roush #92: [qb] It would be best if you ran with a club that had AMB timers available for rent. Rental cost is typically $25/day but you don't have to buy anything for timing (a HotLap setup for example). NCRC, NASA, Speed Ventures and I believe TrackMasters all use them but double check if they have transponders for rent. Shelby Club does not allow timing devices. Some of the smaller clubs might have them as well (Club Z, Unlimited Laps, etc). NCRC has a special new club member deal going that would save you some money. if you are not yet a member. I don't think it matters whether you if run in open passing or not. Over the course of a day, you'll have clear laps in all groups. Run in the group you're comfortable with. You will be faster. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah Steve you are right about some things. The transponders I know Trackmasters you can rent them, and I believe NASA allows it too, but as far as track dates avaiable for Thunderhill, it looks like the best date is with the NCRC. I have to contact them and see how they run there TT class. The big thing about passing for me is, most groups we have run with even with gapping, still gets too crowded. I have no problems in overtaking cars in corners, as long as they know how to be passed, and don't freak out and turn into me. Last time I was at T-hill some guy who was clearly not in advanced who should have never been allowed in the group did this; coming into turn 6 in the back, its raining, and we are all still just shy of race pace, he decides to point us by, in mid turn, well as he did this, the car got unstable due to the change in control on the wheel, looped it in front of 6 guys, then instead of doing the correct thing to stop the spin (Clutch in, break in, wheel straight), he thought he could correct it, and he shot out of the dirt right back into the heard of cars almost taking everyone out. This is why I prefer to run in the groups and clubs where people have to know how to drive to be in the advanced. Be certified and/or clear by the race/event director. I am sure some clubs are really light on the groupings, I am not sure about all of them, I have only ran with a handfull of groups, mostly NASA so I can get my comp license. Never the less, I think it would be tons of fun just to get alot of use from here together for a track day. Hell if we get enough want, maybe we can sidebar with another club to actuall have a Track event specifically for us. Of course depends, on how many drivers, cost, track availability, and so on.
