NCRC Official DVD's

Here you are, an NCRC exclusive! Jim Millington of RealFun Productions has developed several DVD's for NCRC. The Thunderhill CCW Instruction DVD takes you through every corner of the track, with a professional summary by Henry Watts of braking points, how to take the turn, special issues, and more. Jim has also produced DVD's of our inaugural event on October 23, 2001, and our Sept 4, 2002 event. These are stunning videos taken at Thunderhill, and we've got clips below so you can get a feel for what you'll see on the disk. They show an encapsulation of the whole day, from the track entry and pits, the orientation talks, to driving on the track, and finally a nice summary of the NCRC members. All this is set to fun driving music to keep it entertaining. They're truly the best club DVD's out there, and are extremely cost-effective.

Take a look at the downloadable segments to get a feel for Jim's work. Both 56K-friendly, and cable-modem versions are available.

Thunderhill CCW Instruction DVD

We will be producing instructional DVD's for all the Northern California tracks, and have started with Thunderhill, in the normal counter-clockwise direction. These DVD's will carefully walk the beginner or intermediate driver through each turn of the track, noting all the relevant points of the turn. From braking, turn-in point, where to take the apex, and everything else you'll need to really drive this track. Produced by RealFun Productions, using track guide material from Henry Watts, NCRC is proud to have this level of quality available to members.
