Your track day will begin early. The gates to the paddock open at 7:00 AM, even though the first
car will not be out on track until 9:00 AM. During this 2-hour period, you will have time to select a
location in the paddock to park your car, unload your gear, and prepare it for the track. This is the
time to remove all loose objects from your car (including floor mats, spare tire, etc.), check your
tire pressures and lug nuts, inspect your brakes, and make sure everything is working properly.
You will be required to check in with SAMOA personnel, sign additional waivers, and furnish your
signed tech inspection form. A mandatory drivers' meeting will take place at 8:15 AM. At this
meeting track personnel will review passing zones, safety rules, and flags. This is the time to ask
questions.
All of the participants will be divided into 3 groups (A=advanced, B=intermediate one,
C=intermediate 2), and you will share the track only with other drivers in your group. The
schedule calls for 6-20 minute sessions for each group, running from 9:00 AM - noon, and 1:20 PM -
4:20 PM. Barring any unforeseen problems, the track will be open to all drivers from 4:30 PM to
5:00 PM. Gates close at 6:00 PM.
The track will be closed between 12:00 noon to 1:20 PM for lunch. The SAMOA raffle will take
place in the clubhouse during the lunch session.
This is but a brief overview of what to expect during your Thunderhill experience. For more
