Speed Ventures -- Buttonwillow (4/18, 4/19)

Kobaiyashi · 04-14-2009, 01:26 PM

All,

Is anyone planning on going to this track event? (http://www.speedventures.com/events/...il.aspx?id=251) It would be my first track day so any comments as to Buttonwillow (one forum member said in another thread it was a good beginner track), SpeedVentures, or other things I should be aware of (e.g. I've been told to get a half-day's worth of instruction) would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Peter

There will be Audi guys ... Brandon and Dan are pretty cool guys so they might help you with this or that ... but definitely get an instructor I would say for a whole day !

I also recommend www.nasaproracing.com and BMW CCA HPDE as well.
