Greetings Track Enthusiasts,
Your GGR Track Team wishes you a happy 2025 and welcomes you to a new track season.
Our first event of the season will take place at Thunderhill on March 22nd and 23rd. We will be running the east side of the track and, for those who desire it, conducting instruction for drivers of all levels. Continued training our existing instructors will take place over the course of the weekend, and we will hopefully be welcoming a few new instructor candidates to our ranks.
If things go as planned, we will also be offering drivers with significant experience at Thunderhill a bit of a surprise on Friday evening. More on this soon as our planning progresses.
The schedule we have in place thus far for 2025 is:
March 22-23 Thunderhill East
April 26-27 Thunderhill East (Diablo DE on Friday April 25)
May 31- June 1 Buttonwillow (Central Coast DE on Friday May 30)
June 28-29 Sonoma (Diablo DE on Friday June 27)
October 4-5 Thunderhill East (Diablo DE on Friday October 3)
As many of you know, Buttonwillow has just completed construction of a second track with associated facilities just to the west of the existing course and we are excited to offer you the opportunity to drive it in May.
We are still working on obtaining a DE date at Laguna in the later part of the season.
In addition to providing data analysis for those who desire it, we are also exploring the possibility of adding SIM training to our instructional bag of tricks this season. Again, we will keep you posted as things develop on this front.
Finally, for those of you who have not heard, it is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Paul Marty. Paul attended his fist track day with GGR in 2006. He was a great driver, a great friend, and an essential part of our track team for many, many years. He will be sorely missed.
Again, we wish you all a happy and prosperous 2025 and look forward to seeing you at the track!
Scott and Jim
