Default 8/11 at Buttonwillow with Speedventures

Anyone else going to join SV for a beautiful Friday at BW next week? Since it is a fairly long day from the Bay Area having the temps stay in a nice range for the CV should be good. Looks like there are several Vette's signed up but I'm guessing they are from the south since I got no response to a post on the Nor Calif board.

I know Terry Free, very fast C6Z running R compound tires.

I'll be going to the SV 3day at BW the end of Sep. Hope to see you there Randy.

Wish I could. I think I'm aiming for Thunderhill September 1st with TEAM again... Buttonwillow is a bit of a haul from Redwood City. I'm really looking for a day with good folks at Laguna Seca or Sears Point!

(I seem to be great at misdirecting threads...)

I'm leary of TrackMasters Laguna Seca date since they're planning on cars and bikes so it sounds like there won't be much track time.

Have to admit, I'm partial to good timing systems and SV and NCRC run with full track timing so I'm going to BW for the 11th and then NCRC for the 18th at TH. Already signed up for NASA at Sears Point in Sept. The Track Masters LS event looks good but I think I've busted the budget with what I have. Any chance you'll visit SP in Sept, Jeff?
Randy

gkm... just remember it's a lot easier to get a bike off track than a car. Should speed things up and TM runs very controled events with good drivers so like a couple weeks ago at Sears Point, there was no down time.

Randy,

It looks like I will be out at LLNL again in Sep and Oct - not sure of my dates yet though...now if I could just get them to spring for mileage on one of the trips I could bring my car!

There's always a lot of track time when TM's does the combo weekend. Have done it the past few years and its a lot of bang for the buck. Email Doug Gale(TM's coordinator) @ Trackmasters-racing.com and he might be able to give you the schedule in advance if he's got it worked up.
