Title: Buttonwillow June 6-7 $99/day
Post by: Redsled on March 24, 2009, 09:02:14 PM
A good opentracking group will be at Buttonwillow on June 6-7 for $99/day.  I've run with them numerous times.  The owner is a Viper owner and is on the VCA.  The group is well run and the price can't be beat.

Hey Jonathan,

That's a great deal.  How crowded does it get?

We've got our Car Control Clinic at Fontana the next weekend but I still might make it.

ACR is coming along set up wise.

I'm hoping to be sub 2 minutes at BW by then.

Any word on the configuration?

He usually gets a good crowd, but he does limit the number of entries.  As it does get warm in June, I would reserve a garage now.  I spoke to Luc last night and the configuration will be full course w/Star Mazda and Bus stop,  counter clockwise.  I do believe you get 5 sessions per/day.  Hope to see some Vipers there.  Dan, get that ACR squared away so we can see what it can do!

Johnathan,

How would this event be for the rookies out here?

$99 for track time is really great!

Dave,

BW is a great track for rookies, not too fast - lot's of turns and technical areas - good run off if you screw up, very few rocks, mostly dirt and grass.

Just start out slow and have fun. 

You'll likely go a bit faster every session with a little help from your friends.  >v

Dave, this group would be perfect for a rookie.  They always have good instruction/classtime for rookies.  I'm also an instructor for this group so I could also work with you if you register for the event.  Buttonwillow is a great track to learn on.

Still room available for Vipers.  There will be 4 racing GTS's and 2 Comp Coupes playing.  2 of the GTS's and 1 of the Comp Coupes have passenger seats so rides will be available.  I have also rented out garage #8 so stop on by, grab a cold drink, etc.  Dan, are you going to make this one?

Hey Jonathan,

Probably not.  We have a Viper Club car control clinic on the infield track at Fontana June 13 and 14.  Should have 20 or so cars......and it may get a bit warm at BW.

Have fun,

Dan
