Wanted to invite everyone to a great track event opportunity. It's a performance driving clinic held at, and sponsored by, Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Having been to a few different track events now, I think the appeal of BRP's clinics is threefold:
1) TONS of track time - expect 6 to 8 25-30-minute run sessions!! You'll be exhausted afterward!
2) The chance to run with (or at least ogle!) a huge variety of cars, including some seriously fast ones. (It depends on who signs up, obviously, but last time there was a Viper, 2 996 Turbos, etc.) I think this variety helps make a track day really interesting, and frankly it highlights how great our cars are.
3) Cheap price - only $165. That includes a t-shirt and all the instruction you care to take advantage of (last time they had well over a dozen instructors there, all racers, any of whom you could ask to ride along with you, or drive your car).
I'm not in any way affiliated with BRP, but I had so much fun there last time, and thought it was such a great deal, that I wanted to hype it up a bit here so as to increase the chances of seeing a few more S2000s at the next one. Check out BRP's description, and the signup form, at http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com/.
So who's with me?

I was going to find someone to work for me that weekend so I could go, then I found out that my 6yo's birthday party is that day. Oh well...
Would have been great to get some Buttonwillow experience before the January gathering there!

To the top...
This promises to be a great event, folks...Moreover, after going to Streets of Willow last weekend, I must say that Buttonwillow is quite a bit more technical, challenging, and FUN, especially in the full 3.0-mile loop configuration that we'll get the chance to run.
Hope to see you there!

See you guys there!
I was there this past weekend, BTW. Drove in the rain hard for the first time, and it was fun except the car got really dirty.
I thought it never rains here in SoCal. 
Magic Mountain can't be taken lightly - a blind descending turn that doesn't look much until it's too late.
