August brought a freshly repaved Thunderhill and a chance to relearn the first track I ever drove on. Rumors of controversial curbing had me a bit nervous about turn 8. I'd also heard that the "gutter" in turn 14 had been mostly removed, eliminating a small advantage to those in the know.
The rumors were a bit over done, as rumors usually are, but I have to admit that those were the oddest looking curbs I've ever seen on a race track. The net result, though, was a very smooth track with much improved corner exits and a personal lap record for me of 1:58.249.
The race above is from Sunday, where the grid was reversed for a bit of extra fun. Finishing positions were Thorpe in 1st, me in 2nd, and Bob in 3rd. Enjoy!
