This note went out to the folks coming next week.

Good Day Snake Drivers...Just thought I'd check in with last minute details for next Thursday. We highly recommend that you come in the night before - we have a corporate rate at Golden Pheasant Inn (530-934-4603 X 0 )- mention Hooked On Driving...
We'll be at the track when it opens at or shortly after 7:00am. Bill Emerson and Dennis Ratto will be there to assist if you have questions in finalizing your tech sheet (its a download on our website under "pit stops"). There is an air compressor on site. If your car is all set, you don't really need to check in til 8:00am, but we enjoy chit chatting and talking about how fast we'll be if your early. Our driver meeting will be at 8:30am. This will be a very special day, as this will be a very exclusive group - you'll have no shortage of track time. (there is race gas and expensive racing unleaded at the track)
We will begin with some car control exercises that will be ton of fun while you get to know your Cobra a bit more intimately. A couple of you have more experience, so we'll look forward to hearing your input as the day proceeds. After drills, we will use the original Thunderhill race course of 1.8 miles to get acquainted with moving along at a quicker pace. Don't worry about getting your money's worth on this course - I raced it for 5 years and its a blast. Just not quite as much testosterone involved. If things go well, we'll move to the full course as the day proceeds (advanced drivers will definitely have an opportunity for full course). All in all, it will be a major hoot for all. Myself and my two most senior instructors Mike Benzon and Dev Clough will be there and we'll break into groups by instructor so we get to know one another well.
Lastly - this is an event that we'd like to do 2-3 times a year, but our numbers aren't there yet. The car count is currently 13, which means an awesome time for you guys, but we'll need to add cars either this time or in the future. If you can make a couple of recruitment calls we'd appreciate it - there's plenty of room for several more cars. Having said that, we're excited to work with you and your very cool toys...look forward to seeing next week.
