Actually Thunderhill is not that far away. It's about 45-60 minutes north of Sacramento off 5. So that's less than 3 hours away, assuming good weather and traffic. That's about the same as Sears Point, and half the time to Laguna Seca. Really, T-Hill is the second closest race track to Reno next to RFR.
Also, the paddock is located in the middle of the track, you get a good view of the front straight, turn 1, the turn 5 hill, and then turns 11 and 12 (IIRC) behind you as the cars come down from the hills. It's no Sears Point as far as visibility, but it's descent. Plus, like Libila mentioned, you can probably get a ride with someone, so bring a helmet if you go!
