Buttonwillow Track Day. 4/4/'16

[jimrankin]

Hi all you 7 friends in need of a good speed fix. The Golden Gate Lotus Club is heading south of its usual haunts for a day on the Buttonwillow track. Lots of track time and as usual, since it's a not for profit event, the cost is a dirt cheap $185 if your not a member and for a $25 donation you can become a year long member and it drops to $165. Not bad, joining a really great organization for what amounts to $5. They also run Laguna Seca and ThunderHill along with other events and tech seminars etc.

Only three small run groups (this is only a "maybe" but depending on the final car tally they may use their old method of bridging run groups so you can actually be on track for 40 minutes out of the hour instead of 20 or just go "open track" some time in the afternoon. Just based on past experience, I'm not the one making those choices).

Friendly people with a lot of good track experience. Bring a friend or two as a lot of us GGLC members are open to taking riders out to get them an idea of just what fun and how safe it is.

Hope to see you there and if you cant make it, spread the word around. Info on the GGLC web site. Thanks, Jim R.

Jim,

Sorry we will miss meeting again Mondo. Seems like no one is committed enough to blow off a Monday at work to do the track day as still a really low car count. I'm hoping we get a few more as if not the GGLC will go back to concentrating on just our NorCal tracks. After doing COTA a few weeks ago it reminded me I really like doing tracks I'm not as familiar with, keeps you guessing what's coming around the next turn or hill for a while, a real heart beat raiser!

Looks like it's going to be a pretty open track for the few who show up.
