The sound limit is mandatory.  Bring more than enough sound reduction equipment and work your way from quiet to just passing, remember you only get one sound failure, a second sound failure ends your day.  Airbox, long silencer or two, and 90 degree bends in the connecting pipe and a 90 degree bend on the output of the silencer with the output facing drivers left and down.  Experts to consult are Ian Harrison of Viper Racing, UK for Superkarts, and Art Verlinger of RLV for the rest of the karts.

Now I am really stoked to go racing on the big track at Thunderhill.  Me and John Benson had a good scrap at The Ridge and I have no reason to believe it will be any different!  It is going to be hot so bring shade and water!  The race is MONDAY June 27th.

[Larry Dobbs]

The trip was fantastic and the the result was fabulous!  Yep Jim made me and Mark steaks!  I did make a bet that I lost and now I owe Jim the best breakfast burrito I have ever tasted.  The track was awesome and our karts performed dutifully!  The motorhome motored and we got back ahead of schedule.  Now it’s time to get ready for Thunderhill 3 mile east track.  One of my favortite tracks because there is plenty of run off room and the club always has friends and family after the racing is done.  Hope to see all my friends there.

Jim White and I are planning our trip and looking forward to that famous Northwest hospitality! Hope  to see everyone this weekend (June 3 and 4th) at The Ridge!

Hi John, there are only so many minutes of track time and they are for sale to the highest bidder, which unfortunately leaves us in the paddock!  It is more complicated than this, but this is the biggest reason.  We are still trying to get a support race (Anthony W. contacts the track and people who might help us get added to their events like Wayne R.) but the odds are low.

So, I hope that everyone will try to make our club races there!!

Hi Matt,

I would love to see you at our races on the left coast!  Laguna happens once a year for a one day club race, usually in January or February (only time we can get the track and at 92db maximum noise level).  In the past we held races along with sports cars or motorcycles but this has not happened in years and probably will not.  I am racing in Shelton, WA on June 3rd (practice day) and 4th (race day) at “The Ridge” a wonderful track that combines many attributes similar to Laguna Seca and Sonoma Raceways including the “corkscrew” and “carousel”.  Please consider attending our left coast club races where we have 10 -20 drivers in the superkart classes.  I have listed the left coast racing schedule in the Roadracing forum on this website.

Cheers

Larry Dobbs

Fri-Sat., June 3-4 The Ridge Shelton, WA

Hello left coast roadracers.  I got a call from Russ Dyer and he told me we had 23 drivers from the Northwest attend our Thunderhill race (not one of them named Hegar :)!  Thanks to all of you travelling to enjoy the racing we love so much!  I know of 4 people from California travelling up to Shelton in June and I am actively trying to convince others.  I hear the track has made improvements since the last time I raced there and I am getting fired up about racing there again.

[Larry Dobbs]

Please get signed up for practice by this Friday April 8th or Jim won’t be able to risk not enough folks practicing to pay for the day, thanks.

[Larry Dobbs]

Howdy folks, just want to clarify (start at the top of this thread) everyone is invited to pay Jim to practice on Friday, and:

1. Camping Friday night (arrive anytime on Friday to camp in the paddock but not all night [if gate to track is locked you can camp on the Passenger side of the entry driveway/main entrance until gate opens in the morning]).

2. BBQ is bring your own (no one is sponsoring this).

3. Swap meet is voluntary and informal ( I plan to put a Mychron4 package and other things on a table in front of my pit space).

4. Please make sure everyone gets an insurance wrist band Saturday morning.

I hope this helps give an idea of what is planned (as far as I know).

Perhaps Jim or Mark has more info?

[Larry Dobbs]

Thanks for doing this Jim!  I will be there and I won’t hook up to the electrical outlets, even if Thunderhill staff say it is ok, because I know they will then charge you and you are already doing enough!  I am looking forward to seeing everyone and going racing!

[Larry Dobbs]

Practice day, swap meet, and camping in the paddock on Friday, April 15th!

Hello everyone!  April 16th is our next race on our exciting HYBRID race track at Thunderhill; only six weeks away.  Our neighbors to the north are planning to join us as well as groups of sprint/roadracers from the south.  There has been a resurgence of TaGs, 80 shifters, and 4 strokes lately which this new track seems to have been made-to-order for, although I have to admit I am having an absolute blast in my 250 on this track (can you say throttle steer ;))!!  The last race included friends and family track time at the end and I thought I was going to get murdered by my new racing buddies wife after he took my superkart for a try and wouldn’t get out of the seat, but much to my surprise she was almost as excited about it as Bruce was!  Anyway, don’t forget to bring a sprint racing friend to this track to try roadracing because they will love this track!

[Larry Dobbs]
