Once again the Sacramento Area Miata Owners Association (SAMOA) is presenting its annual track day, Got Guts At Thunderhill III. This year's event will be held on Monday, April 21, 2008 at Thunderhill Park in Willows, California. We will also be conducting a raffle at the event, and all proceeds will once again benefit the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America. And in the raffle we have already received 9 free track days to give away from NASA, HOD and TEAM Racing.

This is the third year we have conducted this track day, and it has been extremely successful. Almost $20,000 has been raised since June, 2006 for medical research. Thank you for your past generosity in helping us raise money for medical research.

Here are the details:
