Buttonwillow April 16
Come join the fun with HOD before it gets too hot. Expect a LOT of track time. Race config #13 (counter-clockwise). And, as a bonus, you get to whoop up on me in the jellybean which, I can tell you, is good for 112MPH on the drag strip . . . which is about the same as when dropped from a plane and equal to 1MPH for every HP.

Ken Dobson will be there (after all, it is his track day!), so make sure and quiz him about his latest pro ride . . . pretty unbelievable.

Actually, this will be HOD's second Buttonwillow event this year. But still a good question. I expect to see several more SoCal events in the coming months and, depending on turnout, I wouldn't be surprised if HOD returns to Fontana before year's end. Corvettes on the high bank . . . who is not gonna' love that! And the infield road course is equally fun. The NorCal staff still talks about last year's trip to AutoClub Speedway. Keep checking the schedule and as soon as I hear anything solid I'll post it up here . . .
SoCal is its own HOD region operated by Ken Dobson. While Ken builds up his SoCal staff, you'll continue to see us Northerners pitching in. From my perch in Livermore there's not a lot of difference between going to Thunderhill or Buttonwillow.
Hope to see you there . . .

Awesome event. Small car count and more track time than we could stand! Did the #13 configuration CCW which I personally really like. Very, very fast with some serious challenges. Thanks to the folks who showed up on a weekday (yes, there were a couple C7s).
Word is HOD SoCal will return to BW in September. Just too darned hot between now and then and Ken is off doing the 24 hrs of Nurburgring. What a hardship, eh? Oh, check out this month's Road and Track. That's the car he's driving on the cover! Holy Schmokes!
And, a Fontana date is getting more real . . .
