    My thoughts as well. That guy looked like he had things sorted out pretty well :D

    Buttonwillow has always looked like a blast. I'm jealous.

          At 1:05 I'm coming out of the "off-ramp" or turn 2 in this configuration. I'm headed towards "cotton corners". Buttonwillow likes to give their corners cute names.

          Here's a track map of a configuration similar to the one run on my track day (this is #15, but I ran #13, clockwise, including "lost hills"):

            NASA is running there on 4/27. How much is the Speed Ventures gig?

            Isn't that because they run both directions? "Bus Stop" is the same CC or CCW ;) Mike are you at BW in April?

              I was there in december with speedtrialusa, but i did not have my e30 as the motor was not finished. I just shot photos for the stusa website.

              So i hopped along in my dads e60 m5 with some e36 wheels and yoko slicks...what a blast..we were still breaking the car in too lol.

              I do want to go back to drive there...i havent driven there in over a year and a half now. Last time was before i was turbo.

              I like buttonwillow, Moreso than streets at willow springs, though i have driven at streets more often.

                  Mark, I'll be there in April assuming that my work schedule allows.

                  There's not much going on this month as far as track events are concerned. But my car just got new rear wheel bearings and will get an alignment next weekend so I should be good to go! See you there!

                  I agree with Blueapplesoda. Buttonwillow is my favorite track. I've not yet driven my car at Streets and can't wait to do it next month. I expect it to do pretty well.

                      No one now :(

                      I just realized that the Speedventure's event in March is on a Friday. I can't do that.

                      So, I guess I'll be at Streets in May?
