Default SpeedVentures S2000 Challenge at Buttonwillow - 9-20-2002!

Friday at Buttonwillow; September 20th, 2002

Price: $125 ( + $20 instructor fee required for novices )

Duration: 1 day: 2.5 hours of track time per group!**

Track: Buttonwillow Raceway (near Bakersfield)

Registration: Registration online at http://speedventures.net/event_forms.asp

Event Info:

At 3 miles, Buttonwillow is the longest and most technical track in the Los Angeles area. With twenty-three turns, three major elevation changes, the banked "Riverside" sweeper, and a perfect drift over "Lost Hill" (AKA "Magic Mountain"), Buttonwillow offers both a unique learning environment, and a challenge to advanced drivers. We will be running the full track in race configuration #1, counter-clockwise, as highlighted in yellow below. This track is suitable for street cars, though we suggest that the Riverside turn should be approached at conservative speeds of 70-80 mph in cars without race rollover protection. The remainder of the turns on this track are moderate-speed (35 - 70mph). Turns have wide runoff areas, clear of major obstacles.

There will be three run groups at this event, and registration is limited to keep traffic light.

Potential Bonus: We are attempting to work out a deal to allow single dyno pulls at the track for people at discount prices (something less than $30). If you are interested, please mention it in the "comments" field of your registration form, and we'll get back to you about it. Thanks!

This is a great deal at an excellent track. If you're interested, please see for registration.

Good deal, Dave. I doubt it'll be too hot, it's almost in October, so it may be the last event that's a *certain* no-rain day.

Anyway, we've got a good number of the usual S2ki suspects already signed up, but we're still missing a lot of you guys. C'mon, let's get this event rolling!

As a side note, Aaron will be missing this event (going to England for a friend's wedding), so it's a freebie bump up for everyone in the Mod-R and T8 points race with only 3 events to go in the season...so take advantage of it.

Free bump? He barely made the top 10 in the dry at the first BW S2000 Challenge.

No need to say who was fastest in the dry....
