I always drive with Speed ventures, but have considered Speed District and Hooked on Driving. I don't think any of those clubs go to Spring Mountain, which is a private track where people can buy homes giving them unlimited access to the track.

I think they open up SM to paid events, but haven't seen that opportunity yet.

The CA track I haven't tried is Thunderhill, that's next on my list.

Like Big Willow and Auto Club Speedway > Buttonwillow, but Buttonwillow is good as well.
I've driven Streets of Willow, never done Big Willow. But something about the BW CW13 experience, and the facility with nice garages, tire shop etc. that I love.

WS has a tire shop too, I never really explored that place

Paul right? Good meeting you to. Jeff, the coach I was with, set it at Sport 1 on Sunday and I did a 1:57 in this setting. Didn't really feel power cut but there may have been some, I'll try Sport 2 next time now that I've gained some comfort with car.

I bet your added power makes Sport 1 intervene more.

You might have been watching when Jeff Cook drove my car. He did a 1:53 in traffic and it was quite an experience riding along for that.

I saw a few other ZL1s I meant to check in with but didn't find time. You're a coupe, not the 700 WHP red convertible right?

Yeah he was parked near my garage, I met him and learned about his car. His top had a nice coat of BW dust by the end of the day :-)
