BOSS Thunder on the Hill Sunday June 8th 2014

[VoodooBoss]

The Holiday Inn Express in Willows. If it's booked I've stayed at the Days Inn before and it's clean and fine for one night. The Starbucks is right between the two hotels. ;D

There are a few that are running on Saturday and there should be about 8-10 for dinner if you get in that early. Still not sure if HOD will have a BBQ at the track or not. I'll have it all nailed down after this weekend. I'll be heading up and arriving at the track around 2:00 or maybe a bit earlier on Saturday.

Sounds great, Starbucks sounds good to me That track looks fast and fun as hell. I know some guys in their Ford GT's hit 160 on the straight there. Better check those brakes

 

[VoodooBoss]

You bet we can get him some rides....arrange for him to get rides at check in....Going to be a terrific gathering of Boss's or Bosses, or Bossi....what is the plural of Boss?
See you at the track.

The plural is Many Bad Ass Bosses!

 

[VoodooBoss]

It looks like there might be two spots opening up in the C/D group. If anyone was wanting to attend but couldn't because the event is sold out please send me a PM immediately.

Looks like I've worked out a deal for my buddy to tow the Boss up there. Winning! I think it's more relief that if something stupid happens, we have a way home. Haha.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

I won't be making it due to car damage from previous event but that should open up oneire spot in C/D group.

 

[Boss2273]

Boss2273 Dave will be at Thunderhill on Sunday June 8. I was already signed up before so I did not take the new spot that opened up.

 

[ufnavy06]

I suppose I can bring my jack since I'm getting towed to get the wheel swap complete.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Is Chris still going to be there?

I do not believe so.

With the updated weather forecast now approaching 100 on both Sat and Sun I'm recommending that we dine in a restaurant with A/C. : Does anyone want to meet up?

I'm waiting to hear back to see if the track was paved this week. As of last Saturday it was not paved. Anyway if it is ready to go, and I was assured it would be, we'll literally be the first public group to use the track. I'll have my GoPro setup for video.

Dinner for Saturday:

There will be a BBQ at the track which is free for registered participants. I'm not sure what the cost is for guests. So we can eat at the track, and the track has pretty decent food, or we can make reservations at one of the three restaurants below. Please post up your preference.

Re: BOSS Thunder on the Hill The New 5 Mile Track Will Be Open!

Great news they completed paving the new track and we will be the first public group on it! Below are a couple of updates from the email that was just sent out. Now I'm thinking of staying for the BBQ so we can walk the track Sat evening. It would be nice to walk it before driving on it. Wait. Walking two miles on nice new BLACK asphalt when it's 100 out?

The 5 mile track was completed Friday. We WILL be the first group on the track. I'm calling this a "sneak peek" as the Grand Opening of the track will be for the SCCA race on June 21-22. But we will have the full new track - a lifetime experience.

There is an optional track walk on Saturday night, followed by a BBQ for $10 for anyone including guests. We'll drive to the West paddock after final checker on Saturday, have a beverage and enjoy this special setting for the first time, walk the 2 mile track, and drive back for the BBQ. We'll do another email and request an RSVP for the BBQ. All drivers for Full Weekend, Saturday only, and Sunday only and guests are invited!

I'm new to Boss Online ....but I have met a couple of people at the Sunday Blackhawk gathering last month. I am attending HOD both days and am staying at the Holiday Express starting Friday June 6th. I plan to attend the Friday nite events starting at 5:30pm. I would love to participate with fellow Boss owners as well. Originally you guys were talking about a Boss "corral" at the track staging area. I'm up for that if it is still a go. I'll be in group B. I did the 3.2 mile track in Apr. (morning was in the rain). It was a great time and I got to learn most of that track section. Cleared weather in the pm and could go full speed.

I have a 2013 Boss named Mona (all stock) in GHIG.

Rick,

It's gonna get down to like 66 Saturday night. It won't be THAT bad. We should be up there before the last round of sessions on Saturday and as soon as we agree on the food situation, we'll post our vote up here. But we'll likely just go with the consensus.

Welcome to BMO and please join our corral.

For those that are arriving on Friday can you please send me a PM with your email address. I have a small favor to ask. Thanks!

To get the juices flowing for this weekend. No in-car video BECAUSE we will be the first public group on the new track. 8) The transition from East to West goes over the hill and then downhill for that long straight. It's going to be FAST!

Going to be a fun weekend - just got the weather update with my hotel confirmation- Sunscreen is optional, water and shade is not!

 

[l8te apx]

But is a dry heat....bring your walking shoes. There will be a track walk Friday evening and again on Saturday after the track goes cold. Speaking of cold, there is a rumor there will be cold beverages in the new paddock area during the track walk. Yummm!!!

Haha yeah it's going to get down to about 70 at 5 am. I guarantee it'll be 80 at midnight! Latest WEATHER.com forecast shows 104 on Sunday in Willows.

I've got my GT500 fan on order.

We can compare to see how it works but we might be pulling our grilles.

My son and I are going to do the BBQ at the track Saturday evening. I should be at the track around 3:00 on Saturday, see you there.

"On Saturday we will have another track walk and a BBQ. No charge for the Track Walk, $10 for the BBQ. "

This just in, first video of the expanded track. This is going to be fun!
