View Full Version : Buttonwillow Nov 25th update

The November 25th event will include the full 3-mile track of Buttonwillow Raceway. Specific configuration hasn't been confirmed, but you get the idea. We will have 30 to 40 drivers in attendance. 8 hours of open track time!

This is considered a "Test & Tune" day, per Buttonwillow. Drivers will be responsible for their own tech inspections. This event will be insured, and emergency medical staff will be on site.

The track is open from 8 AM - 5 PM. There will be plenty of race time for everyone.
Cost is $160 per driver.

Event is rain or shine! Buttonwillow does not give refunds based on weather conditions.

The event is more appropriate for intermediate and advanced track drivers. Rather than run groups this will be a free for all, open track. However, drifting will only be allowed every other hour. Although the event will include about 40 drivers, the chances of all 40 drivers being on at once is not likely. I've seen up to 30 on the full 3 mile track without traffic issues. Given this, and the presence of corner workers, cars should have a safe distance from each other as long as common sense is used.

I need to sell my spot. I sold the s13 and I don't think I will want to track the M3 right now as I need money for tires and brake rotors. Broke as a mofo after dropping 40g on the table at a dealership. I will let the spot go for $150 unless they are willing to refund me the event fee.

still need to sell my spot. Now the car isn't even running. You won't believe this, a fucking rat chew through my wiring in the engine and factory warranty would not cover this so now it's $1000 repair bill + 1 week down for my M3
Andrew Bohan
11-17-2005, 09:56 PM
you can't resplice the harness? should take a few hours and cost less than $10
ghostuss
11-21-2005, 02:22 PM
it's not only that it chew through a few other things. But the car also needs tire and brake pads/rotors, estimating to be around $2000. Anywayz. I will take $140 for my spot right now. If I can't find anyone I will give this spot to my friend and come with his lotus elise.
