We just completed our rescheduled Track day at Thunderhill. Our Original date of January 5th was “powered” out. The heavy storm that has passed thru the area left the entire town without power. No power, no fuel, no driving. With rain the day before many opted out of coming up. The 27 that did make it enjoyed a clear dry day. The first 2 sessions we had a wet track, but by the third we had worked the track dry and the speeds increased. It was a very safe and fun day. |

What direction would you like to see the Chapter take? Not that we are lost mind you, but what would you like to see our chapter focus on? More performance focused events? Track days, performance tech sessions. Should we be a totally moldy oldie chapter? Focus on restoration, old parts swap meets, stories , “I remember when” GTG. Me, personally I like some of the old models, I also like my 850 and V70 and like the idea of finding “goodies” to add to it and increase performance. At the same time I can appreciate the many hours to restore a car, after all I did a 1958 Buick Super 2 dr. |
