Mini Thunder III - 2/19/2012

On Saturday night (the day before the event), February 19th, 2012 (Presidents Day Weekend) Mini Thunder will be holding a Casino Night at the Track Clubhouse. Buffet dinner and beverage service will be provided by Thunderhill Grill at extra charge. Pre-Registration will be available for eager participants also. If you plan on travelling a long distance, this will give Saturday as a travel day to get there and Monday as a travel day to get back home.

There are several local hotels in Willows for those that wish to stay. Mini Thunder are making arrangements with Michelle, who is manager for all three. She will be able to book visitors into any of three hotels with prices ranging from about $59-$109 per night (still to be determined).

There will be three run groups (Beginners, Intermediates, Advanced). The schedule should be very close to what was done last year with 5ea 20 minutes track sessions (perhaps 6), followed by Mini Thunder classroom sessions. These will alternate throughout the day. There will be instructors, and all the SCCA safety workers and equipment. The track opens at 7:00AM and Mini Thunder will start with registration, check in, breakfast, “All Hands” Meeting, car tech, empty cars, check wheels and tires, etc. First cars will go out on track at 8:30AM.

Free Admission for Guests.. Ride-alongs are available throughout the day.

There will be free parade laps/ride alongs during lunch.

Sunday will include lunch and Event T-shirt for all paid entries.

You can play at any of the tables.
Prizes will be on display with the Sponsor/Vendors name, description, retail value and “chip” value.
You will be able to purchase these prizes with your winnings.
If you need more chips, you will be able to buy more MINI Thunder 500 bills for $10 cash from Norm or Eric, as the dealers will not be handling any real cash.
