What's up Alvin? I just heard about this earlier in the week from Rob. I wish I would have known sooner. I'm flying down to So Cal for Thanksgiving, but would have just driven and hit Buttonwillow on the way back north.

Sorry for the short notice...damn I wanted to see your silver hood

Default Buttonwillow Raceway Pics/Videos!!!

Buttonwillow was awesome!
I went down there with a 350z roadster(Ashley and Scott's) and Dale(I gotta Z) was also at the track

350z's

I have got to say I was very impressed with the handling and SOUND of a stock 350Z! Scott was able to hold off an EVO and only lost ground on the straightaways...
A "megan racing" 350z was there, but not running

Dale was there in his Greddy TT brickyard 350Z, with new Axis wheels and Stoptech big-brakes...he was having a blast out there...when you watch someone come in after a session and take there helmet off to reveal a huge smile, you know it's a good time!

I took several videos to give you an idea of what it’s like to be on the track from grid to passing…we did a chase-follow and a ride-along…

As you can probably see, my favorite part of the track is the Mazda turn into the esses!

We got in (5) 30 minute sessions, there were a few bonehead v8 drivers that we would absolutely tailgate through the turns only to have to them give us a pass-by on the straight and still keep on accelerating! I hate those *****!!!

It was just so much fun...I encourage everyone to take their Z to the track. If you think it handles great on backroads and public streets, wait till yo uput it on a road course
