Gt640 at Thunderhill

Pics of car at Thunderhill last week.


After 5 year break from track events, driver was no match for the car's capabilities !!!


Probably should have taken a POS beater and trashed it first to relearn the lines ........

It was till fun to open the turbos on the straights !!!!!!!!!!!

Alex when did you come in!?!? We're here finishing a GT640 and GT700... Maybe when we went for Lunch with Spidey?

Anyways back on topic- Spidey, I really want to organize an event at the Reno track where we can have fun driving up there and maybe only have about 15 of us there for the day. Screw instructors.. we just go out and have fun. They always tell me to do this and that and brake here.. brake there. Accelerate here. Pick my nose there. They're probably right but what's wrong with the hammer approach? Slam the gas down the straight. Brake really frigging late with GTRs. Hold on around the turns with Motons or JRZs and then hit the ****ing gas again... Is it a good line? Hell no. Is it pretty? Hell no. Is it fun? Hell yeah..

Looking good Spidey! We need to talk more about how you did. You must have been exhausted.

Alex, organize it already. I'm there!

Hey! That turn looks familiar........how fast did you get up to in the long straight? Did you run the whole track or half track?

I love Thunderhill.........always have a good time there......

Chris
