ROLL-CALL: Anyone going to Willow Springs Nov 21-22 with the CCA?

It's coming up and I haven't seen any mention here or in the California section. Anyone else going?

Anyone else? Only two weeks away...

Didn't you say you where going to pass everyone in your group with your middle finger out the window? Maybe that's why no one is signed up!

See you there my man.

I would, but holding out until upgrading brakes and getting a dedicated set of tires/rims.

Already warped the front brakes and used up the PS2s after 6-7 track days. Anyway, BMW said they would cover the rotors once, not going to push it.

I was in A. Had a blast as well! A bit on the cold side, but not as bad as it was forecasted! And not as windy either - really decent time to be there.

Really learned a ton about the track and how to really drive it. ...although, this morning I saw the results on my front left tire. Corded. Need a bit more camber I think!

There were a few E92 M3's there. I'm suprised most are not here.

It was a good time. A bit cold but what a fast track.
