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 #13 CCW as highlighted in yellow below. This track is
suitable for 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). Most Turns have wide runoff areas, clear of
major obstacles.

There will be 3 run groups at this event with limited registration to keep
traffic light. click here for the schedule.




This is a great deal at an excellent track. If you're interested, please see
this page for registration.

shine.

 

Awww... no dog leg on this one. So far config #14 is my favorite.

 

I agree I love the dog leg. Great straight coming out of the elevation change at the grapevine

 

I agree, the long back straight with the dog leg is more fun than the bus stop.

I'll probably be making it to this event rather than the HPDE event on April 9-10. Yes, configuration 14 is probably the best. I ran configuration #25 CW, which is close with the addition of the Star Mazda Turn.

Who else is planning on making it out there?

 

Interested. I'll have to see if I can take work off.

 

Sweet! Is Stephy coming? lol

 

No Brembo no go.

 

Just let off the gas before the turns

 

#25 CCW is my personal favorite. Back straight and Star Mazda.

 

What timing name do you go under in the event results on speedventures.net?

 

sounds like fun! never raced there before, so it should be a good time. thank god i'm on vacation, whooppee! but seriously, i will definitely try and be there and see how much of a sucky driver i really am (legally even!)!

n1cK!

ps-sure is a lot bigger than the hawaii raceway
