Sunday, May 9 is the next Buttonwillow Performance Driving Clinic, held at the world famous (well, maybe not) Buttonwillow Raceway Park. Whether you've never been on a track before, or you're looking for some more seat time, these clinics provide a friendly, relaxed environment and great one-to-one instruction from racing veterans.
I've been teaching at these clinics for six or seven years now, and Buttonwillow is a great learning track, with a nice variety of corners and straights. It's less intimidating than Willow Springs and not as tight and narrow as the Streets of Willow - although both of these other tracks are great fun in their own ways.
Registration is $195, and includes lunch and an event T-shirt. Bring your own helmet if you have one, but Buttonwillow has helmets available to rent for a nominal fee, too. An enrollment form is available at http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com/forms/brp_clinic.pdf. For additional information, call the Buttonwillow Raceway Park office at 661-764-5333, or send an email to Les Phillips at lesrace@aol.com.
Hope to see some of you there!

I signed up for the May 9 performance driving clinic at buttonwillow, and I will be running in the intermediate group. I think they run the beginners on the west loop in the morning, and the intermediate and advanced on the east loop. Then in the afternoon, they open up to the whole track to all 3 run groups.
When I signed up a couple of days ago, there were a few spots left, but it could fill up at any minute, so if you are interested, don't wait any longer.
It is a really fun track. The first time you go over that hill not knowing what to expect on the other side is a real thrill. LOL

Smelling other ppls sweat all day long isn't my idea of fun. ![Big Grin](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I'll probably join in July though.

They provide a headsock if you rent a helmet. It was $10 last July, assume it's about the same.
I was signed up for this, then realized a couple of weeks ago that the 9th is Mother's Day. So, had to call and reschedule for the August session. Damn is it going to be hot there in August!

Some track-day regulars opt for a second set of wheels/tires for their track activities, but this isn't necessary for the occasional track driver. I've taken several daily-drivers to the track using the same set of wheels/tires.

I'm signed up. I'm driving up to ButtonWillow on Saturday evening, 05-08-2004, after an all-day class I have in Cerritos.
I mentioned this in another post via a different thread.
I'm also signed up for the 350Z Challenge Series on June 4th. I consider this my training session for the June 4th meet.
Look forward to meeting all the 350Z people (and all other beginners, like me).
