Thermal Club

Longboarder · 05-18-2018, 12:51 PM

Hey guys/gals,

Got a real treat last Fri and Sat at Thermal. All 3 circuits were connected (very rare). The south course was abbreviated so we didn't get the full 5.1 mile track but with 29 turns it was plenty fun and challenging.

Sorry about the crummy recording I had to use an old backup camera as my Waylens camera mount kept coming off...so no data overlay and my old GoPro has a lot of feedback. Anyway was a great time.

This is a recording with my friend behind the wheel as I didn't get any footage of me with this car.

Enjoy.

That's pretty neat how each part of the circuit has its own color scheme.

A buddy is a member. He's an ex pro driver and he is also a member of bimmerpost he used to have an e92!M3. His name is Drake Kemper. If you guys are interested in goiing out PM me as I'll go with you as it's a little cheaper with more people. The max number if non-members he can bring is 3 and a non-member is limited to once per quarter. It's not cheap but with free pit crew, food, drinks, shade, industrial ice-water fans, empty track, private coaching, it's a bargain.

I asked Drake for some tips this last time out and he did a couple sessions with me (for the first time) turns out he's an awesome driving coach as well....so I'm going to use him to help me learn other tracks too.
