This track is the WORST wrt going off, IMO. I don't know if you've ever had the opportunity to walk out in the so-called dirt in Buttonwillow, but it's not dirt. It's this weird clay like material that becomes a fine dust like aggregate that will catch your wheels if you go off sideways and flip your car. Multiple fatalities have occurred at this track, believe it or not. It is not uncommon for someone to think that they're okay while spinning off here, and then next thing they know they're upside down.
Just a word of caution. This particular track has fooled a lot of very good drivers.
RESPECT Buttonwillow, or it won't respect you IMO.
