Who else is going?
I'm going to go with old tire's(the way I allways run) I can't miss this though! Unless JWL says my DNF and 3 race's are not good enough to run (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) If I get to run, I need to know a few things(i'm at work, and the connection is sloooooooow) Is the track easy to find? Where is the Motel 6 at in Willows? Any good place's to eat? Is there any AI/CMCr's that stay at the track? I'm not bring the RV and I don't have a enclosed trailer, so i'm worried about the stuff staying at the track. It also appears that there is no driver's meeting that Group B has to attend (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) at least not on the schedule. Any other things I need to know about T-hill? Thanks |

Any other things I need to know about T-hill? Thanks Easy as pie to find..... Highway 5 to Willows.....take Highway 162 east (main street exit)....it is about 5 miles east of 5. Plenty of budget hotels....but they fill up fast for SCCA events.....call early....I used to stay at the Super 8 Eat....OK small town fair.....my mom likes the Chinese restaurant across from the Super 8 T hill is a cool track!

Any other things I need to know about T-hill? Thanks Glad you're going to make it John! 2nd Willows exit, turn left, 7 miles - right after the the road does a long gentle S bend over a hill. I put the cruise on 55 for that 7 mi - local cops know we pay our bills. For motels - same exit, turn right - at the stoplight you can turn right for the $$nice places or turn left for the dives - I've tried them all and prefer the Super 8. Food - Steak place on Tehama and south a few blocks (used to be Franco's). Denny's, fast food, Black Bear is supposed to be good. Truck stop across the hiway from Walmart. The Golden Pheasant has a bar and mediocre but convenient restaurant. Lots of folks stay at the track - showers/concessions/ etc are good Check with Tony G - Group B usually has a meeting at his trailer daily. You're turning in too early, except for 9, where you're turning in too late. |

John, why wouldn't you be allowed to run?
I've never been to Thunderhill, so I've got no advice except for good luck with that long tow (the long tow being the A number 1 reason that I've never been to Thunderhill). Jason |

Jason As a rookie, you have 4 provisonal race's that must be ran in the reigon that issued the rookie license. And NorCal has had trouble with rookie racers having body/body contact. I'm not to thrilled about bending my car up for one more position on track. DAMM THATS AN OLD MAN TALKING (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) My buddy is letting me use his brand new 08 D-max, that is lifted and all tricked out (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) So the drive shouldn't be to bad!

It's really easy, I can just put it on a creditcard, but I hate racing on credit! thanks This post has been edited by firehawkclone: Feb 29 2008, 10:01 PM |

The Best Western Golden Pheasant has a special rate for CMCers, you can get that if they still have it, or go to the Baymont across the parking lot, nicer, more $, has a NASA racer deal. Everyone eats at the mexican place at the Best Western on Friday night, so go there and we'll give ya the low down. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
