Anyone going? Never been but I’m contemplating it. Just a really long drive from Roseville. Anyone else joining the fun?

Speed SF is a great organization and I really want to do CCW1, but still too hot for my liking.

Yeah, it’s set to be 102/104 sat/sun. I did a 100 degree event with Turn8 a few weeks ago at Thunderhill. The late runs were toasty and tires got a little loose but the first 3 sessions were okay.
I’d like to try Buttonwillow as I’ve never been. However, it’s 4.5 hours away and I drive the Camaro to track events. I’m thinking after a long hot event, it’ll be a brutal drive home. The one part that got me thinking was the promo deal… only costs $125! |

I say it’s only a 20% chance I’ll go one day and probably that being Saturday. Still trying to convince the wife that it’s a need IN ADDITION to my already booked 9/4 event at thunderhill. Lol

Buttonwillow CCW was great
Sorry I missed this thread before.
Saturday was great, going CCW. It certainly is a completely different track. First runs were around 7AM and so there was time to get on track and avoid the heat. I did all the sessions before the late lunch (around 1) . I can say that my pure stock 21 SS 1LE didnt have a hint of overheating even as air temps rose well above 100 and I have no idea how hot the track was. I do know my phone literally shut down in the middle of a run from overheating but not the 1LE. All those coolers work great!! |

Agree with your perspective. The 1LE is unflappable! It continues to impress me. I’ll be at Thunderhill this Saturday for the 5 mile event |
