Planning to go to Buttonwillow with Speed Ventures on August 9, 2008. Who else is interested? More info on the event at: http://www.speedventures.com/events/...il.aspx?id=177

$180 for the day (kinda expensive) but it's gonna be a special day!

SPECIAL EVENT NOTICE: Speed Ventures will host the 5th Lotus Challenge Series event this weekend. Lotus Challenge Participants will mix in with Speed Ventures drivers in regular run sessions. For more information on the Lotus Challenge Series, visit www.lotuschallengeseries.com.

SPECIAL EVENT NOTICE: On Saturday, Speed Ventures will be hosting Gumball 3000 after the course shuts down (from roughly 5:30pm-7:30pm). This event will not interfere with our regularly scheduled run groups. More information will be available regarding this special event soon.

The Gumball 3000 event looks crazy. More info on it at http://www.gumball3000.com

Basically, a bunch of celebrities in supercars are gonna be at Buttonwillow eating hot dogs or something. Found this quote...

Quote:

Entrants include David Hasselhoff driving the legendary K.I.T.T. car from Knight Rider, famous drummer Travis Barker, MTV's Rob Dyrdek (Rob & Big) in a fully customized '69 Camaro as well as Johnny Knoxville and the rest of the "Jackass" guys...driving everything from Ferrari Enzos to Bugatti Veyrons, Rolls Royces, old Cadillacs, low riders and even a few electric cars.

Also, according to Wikipedia, John Mayer will be there in a Ford GT. Whatever.

Post if you're going!

Sounds great, count me in!

Already signed up. I'll be there in my evo. Might be a better deal if you do the 2-day Buttonwillow event the same weekend. you save $20-$40 iirc.

SV are also doing an autoX event this Sat 07-26 at CA Speedway. Decent value for $80.

I'll be there both days, you guys could sign up as a group, SV has discount for group over 5 cars.

Good idea, but I think there's only 4 of us. Not sure how many are confirmed either.

It's not a fixed rule, you could always just call them and ask for discount
