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.

Incidentally, this is a very good track for 350Z's.

You can count me in. I just gotta get more front negative camber some how or the front tires are only gonna last 2 or 3 events. Those poor Toyo's were howling up front begging for mercy at nearly every corner. Thanks once again for putting on an excellent, stress free event. I really appreciate it.

i realy HATE why you need to be 18 to do track events!

fluxen

Well, good news then; you can run if you have a driver's license whether you're 18 or not

fluxen

Chewing the outside edge?

really? when i try to register, the age box says "must be 18"

fluxen

Good to know, guess I missed a spot when that changed. You must be 18 *or* you must have a parent there. That we can not get around.

**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 $$!

So who else is going so they can block some S2000's for me!!
