I hear ya brother but not sure we can get 25-30 997 guys to make this happen. I think as long as we keep it Porsche only that will be cool.

Why’s it necessary to have 25-30? I’ve done a semi-exclusive day at Buttonwillow with only 2 cars. It’s only $800.

1. track/corner workers (flag stations)
2. ambulance
3. towing
4. insurance
5. track rental - mid week
6. lunch - nice to have
Cost about $10-15K

If you guys are open to it, we can talk with the guys at SoCal Driver's Club or Speed District and see if we can collab an event/do a 997 GT run group.

The last time I did a semi-exclusive day at BW it was very nice to have the track essentially all to myself. There were no corner workers, but there were workers checking the track in the morning, food service and towing. It was a great day of learning with my driving coach.

Personally, I wouldn't do an event without good corner workers and ambulance.

I thought the whole original idea was to have a private Mezger day with open pit lane.

If cheater cars wanna join, I suggest a 10% ballast weight penalty

Hell yeah, 13CW is the only configuration that I want to run at Buttonwillow. I used to hate when PCA ran the 1CW configuration with Star Mazda, give me the sweeper baby.

Josh would have to book the track for an entire track day but I did ping him about helping coordinate and bringing involved.

Awesome. Signed up. I think my brother-in-law may also want to come with his ruby star GT3. What are the chances I can ride shotgun in the 4.0 for a few hot laps?

Mezger guys need to make sure their lines are welded/pinned before this happens!
