Rolex/Conti Race at Thunderbolt, 17-18 July 2010

[Phokaioglaukos]

Anyone else planning on attending the Rolex races at Thunderbolt?

[ninjabones]

If watching the pros race isn't enough, Schattenbaum is sponsoring PCA club race in support of the ALMS race that weekend.  So not only will you be able to watch the pros, but you'll also get a chance to see your own club members battle it out in a 50-car combined race from assorted stock, spec and GT PCA classes.  So far, here are the RTR guys on the registration list (from clubregistration.net).

Glen Crawford, Darren Mingis, Ed Kovalevich, Kenny Nielson, Jim Reading, Bob Turgeon, and Dan Yonker

Each racer also gets 4 tickets for "crew members" for the entire rolex weekend, so I imagine there will be a lot of RTR folks in attendance.

 

 

[Brian Minkin]

Certainly plan on being there.  Let me know if you need a "crew member"

[ninjabones]

Thanks for the offer Brian... as of right now, my tickets are spoken for, but  I'll keep you posted if anyone bails out.

I don't know who I'm gunning for more -- Turgeon or Yonker? There are "classes" for this but so few cars I think we're just in an all-out race for position.

[Lainey]

I will be there!!! Steve may be overseas - if not he will be there We have a Member VIP Parking pass - where will the RTR folks be congregating? We should stake out some geography!!

[Darren]

We're supposed to be paddocked by T1 but who knows if they will actually let us get our rigs in.
