Thunderhill Raceway Video

2nd track day in my 135. Getting much faster. I love how no one pays attention to me in the first run group and then by the end of the day they come by to see what the hell it is.

Race prepped Miata - Dude that thing is fast, what kind of tune does it have? He was the only guy to pass me all day, but it took him five laps to reel me in.

Boss 302 - How long have you had your 1M? Me - oh its just a 135. Really? Yep This after passing him in the straight. I love it!

Supercharged E92 M3 - WTH how are you passing me in that thing?

Of course this is just the intermediate group, but hell I'll take it.

Youtube clip of a couple laps

I just have Dinan Stage 1 suspension, but I have all of the M3 bits in the trunk now just trying to find time to install it all.

I do have a lsd so that helps a bunch when exiting the turns.

Friday October 12th with NCRC spots are still open. It's 149 for the day I believe.

Also I think there is another open track day the following weekend with the Shelby club on both Sat and Sun, but it's more money.

Check the Thunderhill website under the calendar of events and it will tell you what group has each day with a link to their website.

It's a lot of fun, plus lots of cool different cars to watch when you're not racing.

Yeah I had a couple friends that used to go frequently also (Evo and 350z).
I'm pretty busy until beginning of next year with the classes I'm taking and work
