Arrow Speed Ventures: Buttonwillow Raceway Nov. 3-4

Hey guys, I plan on going to this event with my Honda S2000 and my friend's E63 (MB_Forever) is coming too. I think since its towards the end of the racing season and the weather being colder, not a lot of people will be participating in this event, which means more track time for us.

Just posting here wondering if anybody is interested in going to Buttonwillow Raceway Park. I'm definitely going on Nov. 3 Sat and signing up for the novice/beginner class.

If anyone is scared of rock chips, I have a lot of extra blue tape you can use to cover the front bumper/headlights.

I'm planning on hitting the Horse Thief Mile with a friend of mine(Cobra owner)and some others on 10-13-07 as well as 11-03-07.It's a great 1 mile road course,lots of fun no matter what kind of car you drive.

I'd like to see more W203's out there.It's a blast guys.It's only $130.00 a day.


**Heads up for first timers, bring a couple rolls of "blue tape" if you want to protect lights and front end from road "chips".



OP,I didn't mean to try to hijack your thread bro.

I can't make it out there this Saturday,but I'm going to go on Nov. 3rd.Aaron(Speedventures) sent me an e-mail update on some track info.The Horse Thief Mile ( road course) will be only $120.00 for next Saturday down from $130.00.Btw if some of you want to go this weekend (Oct.13,14) they only have like 15 cars signed up,so it would mean plenty of track time and not too crowded on the course.Just giving a heads up to all that might be interested.
