CAMARO6 - View Single Post - First track days in ZL1 1LE, Buttonwillow

I have heard good things about Speed District as well. Speed Ventures' run group sizes have been reasonable at Fontana and Big Willow on the days I have attended. It is unfortunate that they would not limit the run group sizes at ButtonWillow simply through the sign ups.

One thing I started to do is go down 1 level on the run group To get nicer cars so that the other drivers had skin in the game - I was in my new Viper at the time most recently. Be read group is technically the race group and the group right below red is usually the most crowded. And that group most cars were running race rubber and driving very aggressively. Race rubber picks up and throws more to debris. For me anyway, a HPDE Is an opportunity to have some fun; there is no chance that I will be leaving with a trophy or money so I want to make sure that I have an excellent chance of leaving with my vehicle intact. When you enter the race track you have to sign a release so if somebody in a $500 car held together by duct tape hits you, your avenues of recourse are limited. Accordingly, I like to choose a quality run group with reasonable group sizes and responsible drivers with cars that they would also like to preserve.
