Buttonwillow Raceway, July 2-3rd BMW CCA
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...A5E494C6266CC0
Description from Central California chapter's website: Quote:
This is shot at one of our schools and put together by one of the participants. Guy does a pretty good job with the video and voice over and the walk-through. Buttonwillow is one of those tracks that will be fun no matter your experience level. It is literally my "home track" (I've driven more laps on Buttonwillow than just about any other track, including California Speedway which is about 30 miles from home). It is great for test and tuning, due to a wide variety of turns and changing pavement conditions. It is a great learning track because of its very technical nature, so it's got a little bit of both for beginners and advanced drivers alike. Like most BMW CCA events in Pacific Region, there will also be "instructing" tailored to your skill level. Beginners to intermediate drivers get a dedicated instructors in the passenger seat, advanced drivers get ONE check ride, then it's an intensive course of various exercises (two, three abreast through turns, leap frog, data acquisition analysis, braking exercises...just to name a few) plus intensive classroom discussions of theories on the next level of driving you don't typically get in the "safe" school environment. The A program is designed to "narrow" your margin of error by giving you more freedom to experiment, but also give you the skills to expand that margin of error again. HIGHLY recommended for experienced drivers looking to bridge the gap to Competition Licensing School or have plateaued on their learning curve. And like most BMW CCA events in Pacific Region, lunch will be provided for and dinner will be catered on Saturday night, along with various raffle prizes (grand prize is a set of tires!). Rumor has it there will be a firework show after the Saturday night banquet. (but hopefully no fireworks on track. Please.) Come spend the 4th of July weekend on the track! p.s.: If you love Thunderhill, you will LOVE Buttonwillow. There isn't as much elevation change but it presents a different challenge...Besides two small mole hills it's relatively flat so it'll definitely require an upgrade in visual skills. One of the most technical tracks in the Pacific Region. Maybe second to only Sears Point.

hey hack,
so I missed this event but made it to the speedventures one this past weekend. I was wondering what are respectable times for our cars out here? for my first time on this track and 3 overall track experiences I was happily putting down consistent 2:12's with a lot to be subtracted once I get the balls to not brake on some turns and get on the gas earlier....I know terryltl was putting down 2:04's
