Default Thunderhill Performance Driving School

I just got back from the Thunderhill Driving school and it was really GREAT!! If anyone is thinking about signing up for this I highly recommend it!! The instructors I had were very good and teach you a very fast line through the course....You get five 20 min sessions on the course as well as classroom type instruction, free lunch and free beer at the end!! They don't care about the stock roll bar, in fact there was a 911 cab there which doesn't even have a stock roll bar running and you can run top down....

Awesome. I hope you'll join the rest of the track junkies at future events! NASA is doing a track day at Thunderhill at the end of May. Some of us might be going there.

The NASA event at Thunderhill is this coming weekend May 11-12. I was thinking about signing up but I think I am going to wait until the August event. But if others are going this weekend I may go as well.
