Had a great time at the track today. Buttonwillow near Bakersfield CA.
Here is a video of one lap on the track:

Very nice show of some good driving. I was running in the class after you so I got to watch some of that driving from the top deck of the tower. You put on a good show when you were going up against the blue Z06. I had a good day also,but missed one of my sessions when I had to change out my front brake pads. With the small number of cars today I would say most drivers got more than enough track time and plenty of pizza for lunch. Frank

Great Video Gordon,
I'm sorry I had to miss this one I will try to hook up with you on one of these runs. When I was there a couple of weeks ago we were running the other way

Mike

Frank- Great to meet you there yesterday. I drove back to Oakland last night. It is so great to be able to drive your car hard all day at the track and then drive it home and get 32+ miles per gallon

Mike- There was a new section in the track at the Off Ramp or turn 2 in our direction- a little longer... Will catch up with you next time.

I am signed up for Thunderhill on the 31st-It's a Monday, so I know it may not work for some people.

Here is the event info:
