Default Big Willow Jan 19th

Happy new year!

Our next event is on Sat, Jan 19th at Big Willow. Come join us at the fastest track in the west!

All experienced drivers. Open pit lane all day, no sessions. 7+ hours of track time. Very low car count. Please PM me if you are interested.

Man, I gotta take a couple months off from work and do a Cali Coast Track Tour (with a stop at Mid-O and RA on the way out).
Laguna Seca, Button Willow (Springs) Chuckwalla, all of 'em. Looks like I would need about 2 months with at least 2 days at each track.
As long as I did them South to North or Visa Versa, travel time between tracks looks to be relatively minimal.
One of these years.....

Big Willow is currently undergoing track resurfacing/improvements. We'll be the one of the first ones to use the new pavement!

Go to the individual track's web site and look up their calendar. I know that Buttonwillow and Willow Springs have calendars. Check out:
Checkered Reack Racing**
Speed District**

**These groups (above) have been known to schedule mid-week track events

Other options, few if any mid-week events
Speed Ventures
NASA (Runs the most organized, and competitive, events anywhere. Offer HPDE !, !! and !!! wager an instructor is mandatory, HPDE IV, run solo. Also have TT and Racing
PCA (Autocross, TT and Racing)
POC (Have Performance Driving Series, all you need is a helmet, Time Trial, need full safety equipment and racing
BMW Club

Simulator, a place to get some invaluable track time without risking your car.

There wasn't. Some drivers were allowed a few laps at the conclusion of the "Streets" event on Saturday afternoon. I wasn't on track....

They patched all the cracks and davits then resealed with a oil based sealer. This was not completely new asphalt other than as needed. Come up and play next weekend and find out for yourself .....
