Private, 50 Car Only, Limited Track Day w/ Extras! Streets of Willow. Jan 21st, 2012

Hey Guys,


We are holding a private, 50 car limited track day at Streets of Willow on January 21st, 2012. This event will get you a ton of open track time with only a small number of cars. We are taking the first 50 cars, and then closing registration.


We will have several instructors available, free of charge, to ride along with you (or you may ride along with them) for tips.


On top of the road course sessions, we are having a 2-hour, lunchtime
drift exhibition. Here you will not only be able to see professional drivers tearing it up, but you will learn to better your own driving skill as well. Ran by Professional Formula D Driver Mike Essa and GSR Autosport, the drift exhibition will give you some basic introduction to drifting, an opportunity to try it with your car, or one can choose to ride along with one of our instructors for a “drift lap” around the Streets of Willow.


With our big powered, RWD cars, we always want to show it off getting sideways, and here's some instruction and an opportunity to do it right


Some other things to note (with a few surprises along the way as well)
- We will have helmets and transponders available for rent.
- Instruction available free of charge.
- Prize Raffle.
- Professional Photography and Video.


It will be a great event for anyone from beginner to advanced skill level and we will place run groups accordingly.


Early registration is available now for only $130.


To sign up and view more information, please click here -->SHIFT S3CTOR.


Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns!


Here are some pictures and a teaser video from our November Road Course/Roll Run Event a few weeks ago:

***Note**** Our January 21st Event is NOT a roll run event. It is a private road course day with a 2-hour drift exhibition and instruction.

Sounds like a great time. My car will be in the middle of its winter slumber and I will be seriously jealous. Damn northern climates.

what's the difference between "The Streets of Willow" and the road coarse? Is the "Streets" a different track?

Any chance you will be organizing something closer to the SF Bay area at some point?

Willow Springs Raceway has the "Big Willow" track and the "Streets of Willow" track.

At our last event we had several guys come down from the bay area. We usually stay in SoCal since that is where we are based out of and we have access to more tracks.

What is perentage of Mercedes vs other makes for a private event like this? Does one seriously wear down a set of Y-rated tires at an event like this (ie, need to replace before a drive home)?

It's usually a variety. Last event we had a few C63's, a CLK-BS, Tracked out C55 AMG, and others.

In regards to your second question, tire wear all comes down to how you drive!
