  I sure hope this comes off! 60 miles to get on a road course! End of March I’ll be driving 12 hours one way to get to Thunderhill.

  Would totally enjoy getting to run this track. Bad timing for me. The weekend before I’m in Chandler AZ with the SWK group on the Bondurant West Track. Can’t pull-off back-to-back weekends anymore.
  
  Hope this opportunity comes around again…with more heads up.
  
  Uh…Ray: Are you going to Big Willow on March 15th?

  Waiting for insurance approval. Hey Bill–you have the footage yet of me breaking my axle at Cal-Speed?

  Todd thanks for your work putting on this thing, never heard of this track till now. Track looks awesome. Maybe this should be our next USKGP since COTA is out of reach at this time. Not the same caliber but nice quality track.

  I regret to inform everyone that this will not happen because of insurance requirements. Evidently, the insurance required is event specific at Spring Mtn whereas at other tracks the sanctioning body runs at, the track insurance covers karts. The facility at Spring Mtn evidently does not carry it.
  
  Thanks for all the emails and phone calls I got about this. Hopefully with more notice in the future, we can pull this off. This is one of those tracks that is SUPER smooth. I have been on most of it in a kart and it is like glass. I will try again soon and with maybe more notice, we can visit the insurance problem sooner to make this happen. I want to run there more than anything. It has eluded us for about 7 years.
  
  Sorry to get everyone’s hopes up. I had high hopes for this to happen and as previously mentioned I would never post here unless I thought we could pull it off.

  Hey Jason.
  
  The TBA at Sonoma is worth a heading of its own in here. That way everyone will know.
