Default Button Willow August 12th and 13th

This is just a notice for those of you who are DRIVING enthusiests to let you know that there is an event at Button Willow Raceway on the second saturday and sunday of August (the 12th & 13th)

The event is being held by SPEED TRIAL USA

Check out their site for more info on this event and others comming up.

I haven't had any tracktime with other event holders, but I think SpeedTrial is very organized and helpfull.

I'd like to see a few more S2Ks out there

Not a very good deal--$140 for 20 minutes of track time?

I've been with Speed Trials once already, never going to make that mistake again.

Seriously. I might even say that i wouldn't go if it was free (not worth the hassle prepping the car and driving it 200 miles away).

Correct you are.

Price is $160. including lunch and all the bottled water you can consume. Without bagging too badly on SpeedTrials, I will say that you'll get more track time with less crowding at a SpeedVentures event. SV limits registration much more strictly than Speed Trials. (hence the slightly higher price) You'll also see many more S2000s at SV. Most of us share HunterEZs opinion of Speed Trials, and it comes from experience. (yes I've run with them before; no I wouldn't again. ) The folks who run ST are good guys, but most of us SoCal S2ki peeps significantly prefer the Speed Ventures experience.

How would you know? You do three laps in the morning and then head back to your hotel to lie by the pool!

Actually, we've been overordering on the pizzas lately. Had 8 whole pies left over at the last event. (btw... It's not always pizza... just most of the time. )

Sorry for the semi-hijack... back to the thread.
