Where is Thunder Hills? Might be doable for me if is a reasonable distance from Redding. Locate the track for me so I can get out my GPS
and really get lost! How much for the freight on tickets etc?

Guess what, I looked on the map and found Willows, Duh! Guess I won't need the GPS after all. It looks like it would be a fairly nice drive from Eagle Point. Willows is a gas fillup spot from Eagle Point in my Escape so that would make it about 250 miles for me, about 2 1/2 hours, right? What time will you leaving Redding? Maybe we could meet and cruise on down there together. This all dependent on the weather of course. I've got the big pass to go over into California and that can get pretty hairy with the white stuff that time of year.

Bruce, if you're interested in going with us, give me a call for times and place.
Eddie,
Can't find your phone number. Call me or post an e mail to me with the info. If the weather looks good I'd like to tag along.

Bruce, thanks for calling, looking foward to seeing that cherry JPS. How about you guys from the S.F. bay area, this may be the last chances to catch vintage races this year, let along get together in the north state. We missed you guys in Napa, How about an easy one trip? Eddie
Just heard the weather report for tomorrow, chance of showers in the afternoon, showers likely in the evening. I think I'm going to pass on the trip this time. Eddie
Eddie,
Me too, just looked at the road cam for the pass on I-5, SNOW, and it was 90 last Sunday! mI'm sure they have races for next spring so we'll make a point of hitting those.

I've now been to 'Thunder & Gone'
Thunder Hills is a long drive for us 'bay area boyzzz'
Brian was there from sacks-o-tomatoes and I made it up from benny-cia, but that be it... No other SOC folks.
Oh, Gary from Parts Obsolete had some beauts there and there were lots of race cars fast, furious and festivious. Lots of 356s.
Worth the drive...

Paul,
Glad you made it OK, Eddie and I had good intentions but it was snowing in the passes plus lots of liquid sunshine. Next year for sure!

I even shamed Brian into running topless on the way home...Brrrrr
Paul, Brian, glad both of you took advantage of your southern locations. It was raining by 9AM yesterday, and on and off all day. Better luck next time. Any pictures? Eddie
Sunday November 2nd in Willows Calif. at the beautiful Thunder Hill Raceway Park, several speedster owners will be meeting to enjoy vintage sports car racing. This is a great track and pit passes are included with admission. We will be meeting in the paddock (look for the tubs) around 10am. Stay as long as you like. Easy driving distance from Sacramento, San Francisco, or Redding, Hope to see you there, weather permitting of course. Eddie
I took some, shot off a disc and a half...Forgot to get a pic of Brian & his car...sorry Brian, my bad. I'll edit through 'em and see if anything came out. This was my first attempt at shooting speeding subjects witha digital...Sort of a trip. I missed my Nikon w/motor-drive.

Paul,
When the Emergency room Docs asked how I got frostbite on the tips of my ears and the back of my neck, I could only reply that a new friend of mine peer-pressured me into it! (kidding of course).
How cool was it to climb into a cool car after watching all of that vintage iron getting sideways and nasty on the track?
My bad for not bringing my digital cam, Next year I'll bring a digital video rig. Way too many 356 details to remember without pics. I got to meet Gary Emory and gawk at all of his outlaws and their unique mods. Parts Obsolete had quite the stable of very fast contenders.
All the sudden though....I feel the need for gobs of HP and major handling upgrades... go figure.
Was great seeing you there and talking car stuff.
Brian.

Take a look at Gary's web site for parts obsolete - there are some pictures of Dean Polopolus's 911-4 engines.
