Default SV's 3 Days of Buttonwillow starts 9-30-2005; from $150!

Buttonwillow Raceway; September 30th, October 1st and October 2nd 2005

Price: $150 Friday, $190 Saturday, $170 Sunday; $290 2 day; $410 3 days ( +
$30 instructor fee if not in school group)

Duration: 3 days 7.5 hours of track time per group!**

Track: Buttonwillow Raceway (near Bakersfield)

Registration: Click here: http://www.speedventures.net/event_forms.asp

Timing: Transponders are available for rental.

Event Info:

At 3 miles, Buttonwillow is the longest and most technical track in the Los
Angeles area. With twenty-three turns, three elevation changes, the banked
"Riverside" sweeper, and a perfect drift over "Lost Hill" (AKA "Magic
Mountain"), Buttonwillow offers both a unique learning environment, and a
challenge to advanced drivers.

We will be running #1 CW Friday, #13 CCW Saturday, and # 25 CCW Sunday as
highlighted in yellow below. This track is suitable for street cars, though
we suggest that the Riverside turn should be approached at conservative
speeds of 70-80 mph in cars without race rollover protection. The remainder
of the turns on this track are moderate-speed (35 - 70mph). Most Turns have
wide runoff areas, clear of major obstacles.
There will be 3 run groups at this event with limited registration to keep
traffic light. A sample schedule is here for your information, though
schedules do change based upon attendance:

Friday's config (Clockwise)

Saturday's config (Counter-clockwise)

Sunday's config (Counter-Clockwise)


**Note - Details of this event are subject to change. Event will run rain or
shine.
