Super Expensive Racing Country Club

Post by Mako Koiwai »

The Thermal Club, a members-only motor sports club, hopes to attract enthusiasts rich enough to afford club fees that would make a Wall Street banker blink.

My company was doing some work for that project. The idea seems very cool, but I don't really see how they can pull it off in Thermal in essentially a swamp that will be 120 for 7 months of the year.

Exactly ... don't get that either. Silver Springs near Vegas must have the same problem, but apparently works? It can be over 100 at midnight there! Same problem with the otherwise lovely Chuckwalla track relatively close to Palm Springs.

Missing KEY WORD ... COOL SUIT ! :lol:

The cool suit is so neat, that racing could be an excuse to get to use one. Thanks to Philip for having one installed in the track Miata :thumbup:
