Lets start out the summer 2012 HPDE season off with Thunderhill home of the NASA 25 hours of Thunderhill. We will be running with NCRC, Northern California Racing Club. They do an amazing job of organizing everything from drivers meeting to keeping everything running on time. They also do something neat which is the "lottery session" which is given to the group which lost the most track time due to red flags or people needing a tow etc. This is something which is a NCRC original as even Speed Ventures dont do this. We will be Barbecuing so feel free to buy stuff for that.
