Buttonwillow - Fri 9/5/08

Vezna31 · 07-12-2008, 10:22 AM

Next track day with CFRA is going to be Buttonwillow. Looking forward to running there. I will have a brand new set of race pads for this day. Can't wait. price is going to be $175 for CFRA members. Not sure about the guest price yet.

Any of those who want to come out and ride shotgun, here's a chance to see some fun live track time!

Can I tag along? I would love to go

Vezna31 · 07-12-2008, 01:31 PM

I was hoping you'd want to go. Maybe we can get Chaz to come along too.

Assuming I will be driving in this one. If so, they can always score some rides.

Hey Dudes LOVE to go! Any chance of me getting on the track? Let me know of all the info, by the way I'm picking up some cross drilled rotors from a place in El Monte for $150 all four. They give you a lifetime warranty against cracking and 1yr for warping. The place is called Brake Masters but I think I want to go with EBC pads, any suggestions?

Vezna31 · 07-13-2008, 12:14 AM

Chaz, would love to get you out there, but CFRA does not allow first time drivers. If they see a significant difference in speed, they will pull you off and tell you that you need more experience before driving with them again. They did this at Sears Point back in November and it was because of me. They had a driver that was so far off everyone's pace that it was a danger to other drivers because of the closing rate. It's a safety issue. Their B group is the equivalent to most high intermediate to advanced drivers and there will be some full blown race cars on track with me. Also, they allow full course passing, so you need EXTREME awareness. At the last Buttonwillow event, I was one of the slower cars on track. They also don't provide instructors and I would suggest you have one with you for at least the first 5 events.

Keep going with the other organizations until you get enough seat time, then we'll move you into the shark tank

but you're still welcome to ride shotgun with me, John, and Larry.

I'm going to ask for the day off I didn't realize it was on a Friday. If I can ride with you guys that wouuld be cool.

Registration opened for members today, but I think there's a mistake. The site is saying $225 for members when the email a few days ago said $175. i emailed the president to see which is correct. Guest registration will be 2 weeks from now.

Vezna31 · 07-14-2008, 12:30 PM

Guest price will be $195.

Hey Dude do you think it would be a good idea to sit this one out? I really can't wait to get back on the track. Lately I have been putting more trust in the car and playing with quick braking into the turns.

Hey Dudes so how do you get to learn the track? I was talking with a customer today with an EVO and he belongs to N.A.S.A. but he told me they race everywhere! How do you get into that or something like that? I LOVE Open Track Racing but I do want to get in a rhythm of driving other tracks too. Anyway I will see if I can go to hang out with you guy's.I guess I got kinda hooked, LOL

Several organizations go to each track. Go to Buttonwillows website and find out who will be there at different times and pick the org that provides instructors for novice level drivers.

Thanx Dude!

CFRA guests require an invite from a member in order to register. And guest registration opens in about 2 weeks.

How did you become a member? You can't become a member until you are a guest of a member at a track day. If there are no negative comments about your driving, then they offer membership.
