Leadfoot Adventures has a track day at Buttonwillow Raceway on Friday August 18th. Reg is cheap at only $175 for the people who sign up early. This event will sell out though, so you might want to register pretty quick. Click here to sign-up.

http://www.motorsportreg.com/calendar/index.cfm

If you’ve never done a track day before and you’re curious about what it would be like to drive your S2000 on a real racetrack, this event is for you! Seasoned drivers are definitely welcome in the faster intermediate and advanced sessions, but the newest drivers will get special attention. Leadfoot Adventures has a great group of very experienced drivers who will be instructing the rookies both in classroom sessions and out on track. Check out the “Rookie Jump Start” page at Leadfootadventures.com for more info if you’re new to the scene.

For those of you who know Buttonwillow, we’ll be running the #13 track configuration, which includes both the “Lost Hill” and “Bus Stop” segments. In the counter-clockwise direction, the exit of the sweeper and entry into the Bus Stop is freakin’ awesome. Man I can hardly wait to get back out there!

In addition, Brad Roberts, an Admin for the 914club is going to try to attend and be an instructor for us, so we'd like to see a bunch of you guys out there having fun with us!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

See ya at the track!

OK. I need some "love" here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

We are looking for complete rookies or people with experience. Doesnt matter. This is going to be a VERY safe educational event. You will not be *pushed* in any way that might make you uncomfortable out on the track. The whole idea is to introduce people to the track enviroment in a casual relaxed setting. Maybe you are thinking about DE's and Time Trials at other tracks later in the year? Maybe you want to hone your skills at Buttonwillow. Everyone can learn something at these track days.

What say the masses?

Anyone ?

I havent decided on what I will take out there for this event.

What kind of helmet is required?

I have an M 2000 open face.

BTW, have you guys been to Buttonwillow in the middle of August before? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Your M2000 will work fine. It just needs to be a 2000 and up helmet.

saw that signups can go up to the Tues before - any idea when the fees change and to how much?

I am playing everything by ear, but if I have the car running by then I would probably be up for a track day to sort it out and make some noise, but I may not know until that Tues at best (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

We're going to Laguna Seca the following weekend, so I doubt I can make this. However, I do need to take my car to the track before Laguna, so if I don't get to a test friday at Willow I may do this one.

The fees are supposed to go up to $195 on August 1, but I have a feeling that we will extend the $175 if we aren't close to filling so that we can draw more people.

I have family in Reno so it will be nice to make a week long vacation out of it.

I won't see BW 'til next year.

Maybe you can do Streets with us on Sept 29 or Oct 2. Registration will be opening in a few weeks for those.

Hey Brad,

Any chance of having this thread nailed to the top to keep it visible? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
