  Sport: The Longest Night of Thunderhill - - Car and Driver - March 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
We were impressed by the speed of some of the sports racers, but the fastest were also fragile, and the three Porsches—390-hp, 2600-pound, factory-prepared turn-key race cars capable of easily running 10 seconds a lap faster than the Caterham—still figured to be the cars to beat.
Since all stops were to be under green-flag conditions—the Thunderhill pits weren't big enough to accommodate the entire field simultaneously—it certainly made things more interesting for teams wishing to make a hurried change of tires for wet and dry conditions.
And this proved to be the case for most of the field almost immediately: The threatening skies began to unload the minute the pace car started off on the first of its two laps at 11 o'clock Saturday morning.

Thunderhill is a long tow for the SoCal guys but is presumably popular with the NorCal and Portland racers, right?
There don't seem to be too many great alternatives -- the only other viable Thunderhill date would be 9/14-15 but that's only a single regional and it conflicts with the Runoffs (if anyone's going).

 Arena Red | TracQuest @ Thunderhill
At Thunderhill, on most corners you can safely drive straight off the track if you're not going to make a turn, and that's much safer than spinning.
I didn't feel very successful in improving my Thunderhill time because my previous best on the 3.0 mile course was 2:24.37 on street tires, and my best lap this day was 2:23.09.
But although there are parts of the track that I know pretty well, I am still not comfortable with the highest speed turns -- 1 and 8 -- because I haven't done them much, and not in a while, and it takes some gradual building to gain confidence of higher speeds there.
