Early 2014 is what i have seen of facebook. I can not imagine that the 5 mile track will get run very often as the cost would be rather high since you would have to rent both the east and west sides. Not to mention the number of coner workers you would need for 5 miles of track!!!

Dave flys over the track in a helicopter taking every turn. Shaping up to be a pretty cool track.

The development of Thunderhill West, the nation’s newest and most unique road course, will provide track opportunities for all who want to experience its twelve-turn, two-mile configuration as early as May 1, 2014. The new track has a number of unique characteristics including an eleven degree banked sweeper turn; a gutsy sharp left following a downhill run reminiscent of Spa’s famous Eau Rouge;  a very tight 180 degree switch-back and an abundance of ups and downs.  The track is FIA standard 36 feet wide and will offer a complete paddock, club house for class room and food service uses plus garages, decks and bathrooms with showers.
 

The month of May will see testing days on the course for all who want to come learn the very technical configuration. Prior to testing, track management will offer priority rentals of the new track to new and existing customers. Initially customers who have rented the existing three-mile road course will have the first right of refusal to add the two mile track and either use it as an additional track on that same day or to run the five-mile configuration that results from combining Thunderhill West with Thunderhill.  Following the offer to existing booked clients, track days on Thunderhill West will be offered to the general market place. Demand is expected to be strong for those seeking to benefit  from the newness of the venue as well as the unique track experience. Pricing is being developed and will be released in early 2014. 

One way to assure early access to Thunderhill West is to book days on the three mile track now with the expectation of adding the two mile track when it becomes available in 2014.

Currently the official grand opening of Thunderhill West will either be May 17th and 18th or June 21st and 22nd. These two weekends are part of a track championship series presented by the San Francisco Region of the SCCA, the parent company of San Francisco Region Properties, Inc., the corporate name for Thunderhill Raceway Park.

For the 25hr the current pit & paddock always gets maxed out, which then limits number of entries.  I envision putting one or two complete classes up at West, allowing 100+ cars!    It could happen....
