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 NSX 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. :cool:

Well I am a major track rat and I go to Buttonwillow every chance I get as it is my favorite track. I was there in june when it was 106 deg in the shade but I will not get cought in 115 deg heat in July and August so I am about 80% sure I will not go unless Kip and Don T go or unless we have a 80 deg cool wave.

I heard the weather will be 128 deg there LOL...!!!! Have Fun

Oh come on, now Steve... it won't be that hot. I totally expect it to hit triple digits though.

Still, don't forget that there will be plenty of water and the classroom will have the A/C on all day. :)
 
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. :)
