it's very fun...i don't know who told you it isn't, but they must not like going 120+ on the oval if you like what's between turn 8 and 9 on big willow, you'd like the ROVAL.

 

oops my bad!

when I say I'm settling it's kind of half joking since BW is really a great track. i just wish it was closer to me. now going to SOW is even more brutal for me since it's about 5 hours away from the bay area. calispeedway is only good if it has the roval config. otherwise the infield config is just too boring and not worth the expensive price from what i've heard. i definitely want to try the roval config one day.

if you guys like BW and haven't been to Thunderhill before I'd suggest you go there at least once. i know it's far as hell for you so cal guys but trust me it's worth it.

 

i really want to do the norcal tracks

sear's point, thunderhill, reno fernley and laguna seca in that order but i will be moving in june and won't have the chance.

i might just try the ROVAL config before I leave. its the closest track to me andi i've got tons of track credit with SV.

 

nope, i was #81 and was only there on saturday.

shinkuu - i didn't talk to rob but i did see his car parked.

 

pictures are up. here's one of mine

 

Passing a Porsche GT3R on the outside of turn 2 on the oval at 140+ mph in a bascially stock 350Z on DOT-R tires is fun! Having the Prosche owner follow you back to the garage and say, "WTF!" is priceless!

 

I was #11 haha....

Dampy, is that a hello kitty ball on top of your attena? LOL Priceless

Were you running in the White/Novice group? If so I think I ran into you once during one of the sessions.

 

yes and yes. i don't remember seeing you. were you there on sunday?

 

Nice pics

Wish I could attend one of these trackdays....

 

Here is a video of my 2nd session. Carole was riding shot gun and i was overdriving my car into a lot of the turns.

shinkuu was passing all these lotus's!! one after another ..

 

yeah i was there on sun. i was the one with the silver coupe with 890.

 

Sounds like you have really been bitten by the bug hard!

The Cal Speedway configuration with the Roval is a must do if you are after a unique speed experience, and it is anything but boring. The infield course only is not appealing to me particularly, but some folks like it.

For the Norcal folks, especially anyone in the Sacramento area, the Reno-Fernley circuit is a really fun ride. Four miles long and 30+ turns, some serious elevation changes and compound turns with off camber and angled crests.....zowiee. This month's issue of Nissan Sport has an article on driving RenoFernley, and a video link too, so check it out.

Thunderhill is 90 miles north of Sacto off I-5....a splendid track, but as noted an endurance drag for the SoCal crowd to get there.

Buttonwillow, especially in Race#13 configuration, is a terrific driving/learning set up.

Laguna Seca is Mecca. The pilgrimage is a must. How can you be anywhere this side of Salt Lake City and not want to drive the Andretti Hairpin or the Corkscrew! Plus the ambiance of Monterey and Carmel afterwards.

Sears Point is excellent, but a lot of walls. More bent sheet metal and broken spindles than any where else out here in the West. Probably a better place to visit after you have a few lessons under your belt if you plan to drive home in the same car.

 

wrong post.... sorry
