These clinics are very relaxed and not intimidating for first-timers. Buttonwillow is one of the best tracks in the country for learning/teaching, as it has a great variety of turns and almost nothing to hit. Expert instruction is available every session from licensed racers, not just some guy with one or two more events under his belt than you. For track-day veterans, expect lots of track time.

I have run the Buttonwillow Performance Driving Clinic twice in the past year. It is a great time. The track is terrific, and the driving instructors excellent. I recommend it to newbies and advanced drivers alike. I will try to make it there on Aug. 21.

I am running the big road course at Willow Springs this weekend. WAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

 

Same schedule for Dec 18?

If so I am in...I cannot do Aug 21...

 

The schedule is typically the same from event to event, but you might want to check again before December.

 

One thing they did the last time (May 2004?) was to "Walk the Track". This is a great addition to the Buttonwillow Performance Driving Clinic. They take a group of drivers out to a particular turn (e.g. "Magic Mountain") ON FOOT and, while there are no drivers on the track, they explain exactly how you should take the turn. Walking and seeing part of the track up close is an great experience.
