Speed Ventures at Buttonwillow - Aug 23 & 24 - $130 a day!
Buttonwillow Raceway; August 23rd and 24th, 2003
Price: $130 one day; $220 two days ( + $30 instructor fee required for novices )
Duration: 2 days 5 hours of track time per group!**
Track: Buttonwillow Raceway (near Bakersfield)
Registration: Registration is open on the site: http://www.speedventures.net/event_forms.asp
Timing: Transponders are available for rental.
Event Info:
At 3 miles, Buttonwillow is the longest and most technical track in the Los Angeles area. With twenty-three turns, three 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, clockwise on Saturday and configuration #25 Counter-Clockwise on Sunday. This track is a good place to run 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 four run groups at this event, in an effort to keep traffic light. click here for the schedule.

We are trying this schedule out at Streets. That will determine if we do it again at BW, or go back to a more traditional sched. I kind of like it because it gives us 4 run groups with fewer cars per group, and I kind of don't like it for other reasons. Give us your feedback and we'll see how it goes

**Update: The event is currently showing very low attendance, so if you want to run BW with small run groups (probably less than 1 car per 1/4 mile of track per run group), this is your chance. We opened registration a bit late, so we're not going to charge late fees for registration until this coming Monday. Sign up now and save some $$!
Oh, and Craig? We're going back to a traditional schedule. White and Yellow suffered at SOWS, so we won't do that again.

I don't know if SV has a preferred motel but hopefully they'll chime in if they do. BTW, I'm all signed up

I might just drive up the morning of the event.
Dude, you live in Hollywood. How many more white women do you need? Just get a license plate for your Supra that says "DIRECTR" or "PRDUCER" and start cruisin' up and down Sunset. :-p
BTW, I drove on Old Topanga yesterday - fun stuff. I think I've been to the Rock Store before - a few years back. We'll have to go driving there sometime early in the morning.
