Leadfoot Adventures is having a track day at Buttonwillow Raceway on Friday August 18th, and reg is pretty cheap at only $175 for the people who sign up early. This event will sell out though, so you might want to register pretty quick.
If you’ve never done a track day before and you’re curious about what it would be like to drive your Teg on a real racetrack, this event is for you! Seasoned drivers are definitely welcome in the faster intermediate and advanced sessions, but the newest drivers will get special attention. Leadfoot Adventures has a great group of very experienced drivers who will be instructing the rookies both in classroom sessions and out on track. Check out the “Rookie Jump Start” page at leadfootadventures.com for more info if you’re new to the scene.
For those of you who know Buttonwillow, we’ll be running the #13 track configuration, which includes both the “Lost Hill” and “Bus Stop” segments. In the counter-clockwise direction, the exit of the sweeper and entry into the Bus Stop is really fun.
I have always wanted a real track day, but never had the money, i may try to come out for this one. That would be awesome! Thanks for posting the info.
Our group is headed up to Buttonwillow August 11 for the SpeedVentures event. Its possible some of us might go up both weekends since a couple guys have new chassis and new suspension that they’d like to get as much track time in as possible with. If I’m not gone for work I might be able to make both, but I’ll for sure be there on the 11th with a group of about 8-10 cars.
The early-bird pricing has been extended, so if you’re on the fence you have until August 12th to save your spot on the grid for only $175. If you’re new to the track we’ll provide you with an instructor at no extra charge.
As promised, we’ve secured a discount rate at the Willow Inn for both Thursday and Friday nights. Whether you stay one or both nights, tell them Leadfoot Adventures sent ya and the rate will be $46.95+tax. Check in is after 2pm. The gal said the normal rate is $54.95 on Thursday and $59.95 on Friday, so that’s not a bad price break we’re getting.
We’ll be getting together at the Willow Ranch restaurant on Thursday evening to get something to eat and hang out for a little while. Hope you can join us!
There’s still some room on the grid right now, so if you’d like to go please register soon to make sure you get in.
If you’ve been waiting to sign up because you’re worried about the weather being too hot, don’t worry… the forecast is for an afternoon high only in the mid-90’s, which really isn’t all that hot for Buttonwillow.
A few spots remain open in all run groups this Friday: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. Hope you can make it because the weather forecast is for a high of only 95 degrees. If you know Buttonwillow you know that’s downright cool for this time of year!
We have spots available in each run group so we’ve decided to allow people to show up at the track at 7:00am to register and pay on the spot. If this is you, bring $195 cash and be ready to roll!
