Post subject:  2013 25 Hours of Thunderhill

It's that time of year again! Endurance racing's best kept secret returns December 7-8 from Thunderhill Raceway Park in Willows, CA.

This year's entry list, while perhaps a little less exciting than it looked a few weeks ago, is without a doubt the most competitive we've seen in years. 26 cars are entered in the ES and ESR classes for unlimited/open cars, including 9 sports racer entries, certainly the biggest prototype grid we've ever seen. The full list is available here - http://www.nasa25hour.com/2013/teams/2013teamlist.htm - but here are a few highlights:

- 2 Wolf GB08 CN-spec cars, one of which is driven by none other than Al Unser, Jr... And his kid!
- 2 Radical SR3's - one from Factory 48 and one from Radical West.
- Davidson's Norma M20F and the Eagle that nearly won the race last year, both of which feature nearly all-pro lineups.
- The Chevy Silverado that led a substantial portion of the first half last year.
- 2 GMG Audi R8 LMS's, and I believe Audi will be sending technical support over for these entries.
- VLN-spec entries from the Audi TT-RS that showed well last year and a Lexus IS-F campaigned by Lexus USA, including Grand-Am/ALMS' Jeff Westphal and Ken Dobson
- Factory Five GTM with Paul Edwards and... Davy Jones!
- A host of Porsche Carrera Cup cars of varying vintage... Pierre Ehret, who won the race last year, is back in a 2009-spec Cup with Memo Gidley and Vic Rice.
- Team Spoon returns from Japan with a Honda CR-Z in E2
- A New Zealand-based entry with a Seat Leon Supercopa!

And, of course, I'll be back (with friends this year!) to cover the entire race on Endurance Radio - http://www.endurance-radio.com

Southwest Tour, I think. Jim Inglebright and Tim Spurgeon are usually behind those entries.

if its a ZZ4 powered car it'll be far more reliable than a nationwide car.
