Default 350Z Challenge June 4 at Willow Springs Raceway

This is on the big road course, NOT Streets of Willow. It is the "fastest road in the West." It is near Lancaster, CA. Cost is $120 for all day (3 run groups), and timing equipment is free.

We have 14 Z cars so far, including a few G35Cs. Sign up at www.speedventures.net .

It will be great fun, I also expect to see Corvettes, Boxsters, EVOs, S2000s, STi's and M3s to come out. Instruction is available cheap, and newbies are welcome.

See you there!!!

Great that you all are coming out to run big willow on June 4. Don't worry about what it says on the SpeedVentures website, the timing equipment (a $20 value) is free if you show up in a 350Z, G35C, or 300ZX. Total cost including timing equip. is $120, plus $10 gate entry fee charged by Willow Springs Raceway.

Default A great time was had by all

We had 8 350Zs, 2 300ZX TTs, and about 10 G35s (2 sedans and the rest coupes), among the 60 cars that showed at Big Willow on June 4, 2004. Here are some pics.

#1 - yellow axis car was there

Had a great time at Willow. It truly is a fast track. If you dare to look at your gauges at over 120 mph, it only confirms the "pucker factor" going into some fast turns. You really find out what you and your Z is capable off. Here are some photos...This is me with G35to350Z-12 (Jeff) talking about our latest run.
