It should be ok since they'll have a bunch of different run groups.

what the heck is the Horse Thief Mile?

i didnt even know there was such at track. i thought it was either the big or the small track. anyone been on this before?

m3heaven · 03-28-2011, 05:58 PM

It's a smaller track, supposed to be similar to driving on mountain roads.

i noticed it has switch backs. a mere 1 mile long? rather save my gas money, this isnt better than an autocross event. streets of willow, now that is fun.

persian54 · 03-28-2011, 10:57 PM

actually Horse Thief is really fun

though I liked the big track much better

it's a great time

Track days are always fun but this is my least favorite SoCal track. I felt that one of the later off-camber left turns could flip you over into on-coming traffic if you were over-zealous. In speaking with the organizers they said to be careful. If you drive sensibly to learn car control and have fun then you'll be fine.

I've done many (most?) of the SoCal tracks with my share of off-track experiences and I never felt particularly unsafe - Horse Thief is the only place where my self-preservation meter pre-empted my fun and safety meters.

I'm much more cautious than I was in my younger days (kids, mortgage) so that may also color my experience.

Have fun and be safe if you go!
