now THAT track has some elevation change, and nice scenery. WOW. It looks like someone just cut a track through the hills and forest. That must be a fun track to drive on.

ThunderHill has best of of both worlds - acres of run-off and elevation changes and what-not.

that is very true.
And it looked like the track was wet, as if it had rained, or was raining. that is still one thing I have not cared to do, track on a wet track. i will sit a session or two out if it rains at RA if i need to. there is no room for error there. some of our other haunts would be ok, but not RA.

Was 'dewy' - not really wet. I ran about 9/10th in the dry that day, about 7/10ths during the 'damp' sessions.
You're lucky about one thing - I bet you guys can run track days just about all year long?

Dammit, I wish there was a track around here. All there is, is drag strips. I go to this one road, approx. 8.3 miles long (used 'trip' to count) and I go full throttle and whatnot....i guess i consider those days as my track days because i'm going all out. I have the option of moving to Phoenix, any good tracks around there? I know i'll search it up later, but anyone know any off hand? If not, i'm gonna start buying lottery tickets like every texan, and try to win so i can build my own damn track 
which will..probably never happen.

NASA-SE is contemplating doing some events before their usual March start date this year. Panoz has an event at RoadAtlanta in Decemeber, but depending on weather, that one can be down right cold and ugly...at least by Georgia standards. Their are benefits to living down here.

dmp, what a fun looking track. Looks like a mountain run without motorcycles and bicycles running the opposite direction and locals throwing nails and screws in the curves. 
Beautiful photos! Were they taken by a friend or the track pro? Dang nice! Thanks for sharing. Now you have me all pumped for Barber in Nov.

Thanks Silver - I had two friends taking pics for me that day. One just got his camera a few days prior - actually had not USED it yet even. Those pics are in the first set. I think he did quite well!
The second/later images as indicated were taken by forum member dv/dt - he's got quality-of-product enough to be a professional photographer, however elects to 'feed his family' instead; He does photography for the love the art.

I was driving - Two of my friends were taking photos.
Some were taken with a Canon Rebel XT and a Canon 70-300 f/4-5.6IS, others with a Canon 20D and 70-200 f/2.8 IS.
