CSRG Races at Thunderhill May, 2003

My brother Rick and I drove up to Thunderhill for the Saturday session of the May CSRG races. Thunderhill is about 3 hours north of San Jose at Willows, CA just off Interstate 5 between Sacramento and Redding. This was our first trip to this course.

A Porsche 910 was there. This is the first one of this model we have seen to take pictures.

	Mr. RPM and his portable welding shop. This is an interesting business. If we need some welding done, the welder makes house calls.
	At lunch time was a special relay race which where each car was supposed to make 4 laps and then the next car would go.
	A bit of confusion in the pits for the relay race.
	The Chrysler team changed drivers for the relay race, here talking a bit of strategy.
	The special featured group was Formula 1 cars. They are earsplittingly loud. You can see why when looking at the engine of this V12 Alfa Romeo. No mufflers.
	The green Tyrrell in the forground was the fastest car on the track.
	Helping one of the F1 drives fitted into his ride.
	An interesting and tiny Le Grande BMW Formula 4 with a 60 hp BMW motorcycle engine.
	Grid for the
	An early lab through the down hill at turn 5 showing the two 912 racrers, John Thorton in #902 leading Wyn Robertson in #14.
	The track snakes past the other side of the pit area. The order had changed by the time we got there for this picture.
	Lot's of advice while working on a Lotus Super 7.
	Bob Webster's McLaren getting the tire lock nut tightened to 310 foot pounds with one of the world's larger torque wrenches.
