FOC Invited to Track Day at Thunderhill Raceway / Willows, CA

We did this last year in the spring and it was a blast! This is a very well managed track event with track management veterans running it. The drivers coming to this event drive in a very cordial and respectful manner. First timers are welcome with experienced drivers eager to help out the newcomers. Three 20 minute run groups each hour.  With run groups organized by the driver’s track experience. And the slower cars in the less experienced groups. Thunderhill Raceway Park’s 3-mile, 15 turn circuit has a lot of run off for safety, plus two long straights let your car stretch its legs. The circuit is a fun challenging track with some turns  easy while others will take time to master. 

Note: Not a Ferrari Owners Club event. No insurance is provided by the FOC.
