Track Day Format Change For Thunderhill 11/3/2024

This is about  our Track Academy at Thunderhill Raceway on 11/3/2024. I just made a tough and risky decision.

It was always my plan to bring our Track Academy program to the ‘big track’, and so we planned to host it during our track day at Thunderhill on 11/3/. After tough attempts to make the Thunderhill admin understand what we actually want to do there- we’ll have to give up on this. The logistics of such class is not combinable within a track day layout. Let me explain…

The Track Academy class agenda requires to do demos and especially drills. Depending on the subject, this can easily eat up 2-3 hours (classroom, demo, drill) of time. Though, a regular track day layout means, there are 3 level groups which are 7 times on track for 20 minutes each. This is impossible to do within time given. So this would be only possible if we would skip on demos and drills, which is totally against the way I want to teach you guys and the learning efficiency would suffer. Besides, the Thill admin won’t allow a sectional demo surrounded by people. Hope you see the dilemma here.

So I decided to get the Academy back where it belongs, on Little 99 Raceway, where we provide this program for many years. Our track days will only host the Track Rookie Class in the future, so next on 11/3/. The date for the Track Academy at Little 99 will be on 10/19/.

We’re truly hoping to get  to see you at both classes.
