Today my boyfriend is racing for his first time at Thunder Hill, so watching made this easy worrier feel better. ^_^ That looks like a bomb ass amount of fun!
Excellent video...and driving! 👍👍👍. I’ll be there with my homies from Reno SCCA on 8/2/19 and will be driving my ‘87 Alfa Quadrifoglio during track experience. Hardtop on, is OK. Will memorize the track from your video.😀😀😀 Thanks!
Enjoy West, it'll be fun! I won't be there on the 26th but maybe towards the end of the year. I'll be at Sonoma on Sept 30th with TrackMasters Racing. I'll be happy to give a ride along.
After watching videos I drove a lightly modded BRZ at Sonoma yesterday. Video was only guide. My first session was cautious and getting passed a lot. Technical track with many points to slide. I drove a sport setting with some traction on. Second session started to remember the not blind turn and line was improving. By my fourth session passed as many cars as I was passed by. This track has a different feel and challenges from Thunderhill, and I really enjoyed my first time out
IS your equipment not sized right? You are constantly fidgeting with your helmet and belts all the way around the track to the point it seems like you could be distracted.
Which track do you like better Thunderhill East or west? I’ve been to East twice and I think this Saturday will be my first day on West. What does west offer? Or what are the challenges of west?
Yes, it was before. I have several videos documenting my decision and experience of doing the manual swap, check it out. :-) . Here's one of them: th-cam.com/video/FXc7N-fdEIs/w-d-xo.html
Haha this is the best reply ever. Nice to see the manny swap, but paddle shifters can be fun too! And thanks a lot for the tutorial, I'll be taking my Mini to TH west in the next coming months.
A. You need to fix whatever issue is going on with your helmet. You adjusted it with your left hand like a dozen times a lap. B. There's no such thing as a "U-turn" on a track. It's a freaking hairpin!
I’ve never seen $350 for Thunderhill, maybe that price for Laguna Seca and Sonoma though. Thunderhill is usually $199-$225 with SpeedSF. You can go to MotorsportReg.com and check different events

Thank you Sean for these beginner guides. I just started going to track days and these have helped me get an idea of where everything is stationed!

What gear are you in for most of this
Thanks for this!!
subscribed Sean. Awesome tutorial
Thanks Daniel! I always find track "secrets" to be really helpful. Every track has a tricky turn that will surprise you if you're not ready for it.
SICK
Looks fun

Thunderhill West doesn't look hard on the brakes at all?
Nice tutorial! How much horsepower/torque you running?
Do they trip off the sound DB at this track?
Nice job bro
Thanks!

Paddle Shifters? Is that a conversion Wheel and paddles?
My car used to be SMG... then when the transmission went bad I put in a new transmission and did a manual swap at the same time.
That's awesome, so this video is before the Transmission went out?
Yes, it was before. I have several videos documenting my decision and experience of doing the manual swap, check it out. :-) . Here's one of them: th-cam.com/video/FXc7N-fdEIs/w-d-xo.html
No stick shift, no glory
Oh it's a stick shift now. LOL check this out: th-cam.com/video/4oxDWokJQNI/w-d-xo.html

LOL. I love paddle shifters and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. :-) I'll be out at West on June 20th, private group. It's definitely a great track.
How much did it cost to run it and for how long?
So if your a too slow, just let the driver behind past? Is there any amateur day? Lol. Real question.
they have 4 groupings in all events. novice is available.
A. You need to fix whatever issue is going on with your helmet. You adjusted it with your left hand like a dozen times a lap.
B. There's no such thing as a "U-turn" on a track. It's a freaking hairpin!
Sean what does it usually cost to participate?
Like $350 for a full day
