It was taken; I had a hold placed on it, but another group took the date.

the rest of June is occupied; There is a group ahead of me for June 25th, but July 9th is free.

Sorry Mike. I have taken out my name since I am not a fan of the Streets of Willow. I would prefer the Big Track Willow instead.

Sorry I should have been more clear.

Yes, this is Streets of Willow springs, not Willow Springs Raceway.

Not yet...

Invite friends and family; I'd like to keep this a relative tight-knit event.

Hope you have brakes

I've run streets of willow on OEM non-Brembos a few times. You'll survive.

The important think for the newbies to remember is when you get off the track and park to leave the car in gear and DO NOT use your parking brake. Unless you like having to replace warped rotors or frozen calipers. I would actually recommend driving the car through the paddoc and a short ways up the access road and back down again to give it a little extra cool down time before parking.
