I'll be there for both :)

Great news!

Way back when??? someone questioned $$, you didn't have numbers then, do you have some now? I'm mainly interested in the top end run. Speed Ventures @ WS is usually ~$125.00 or so.

Thanks, Steve

I am joking about the Way back when thing... :) The Speed ventures prices are on the speed ventures website. Additional fees to be included in the CCS will be posted in a few days or so...(my famous last words)

Information on the Top Speed Event will be posted as soon as I have everything figured out. I am putting that toghther as we speak. :yesnod:

SFVetteman · 01-15-2003, 03:05 PM

I'll be at Sacramento for sure but I'm not sure if I can rearange my schedule for Buttonwillow.

Red C5 · 01-21-2003, 12:11 AM

Never been to the track. Guess I might as well get started. Put me down for the 22nd at Sac. :cheers:

Dave68 · 01-27-2003, 12:00 PM

I'm interested, but Sacramento is a loooong drive. Anyone know where Buttonwillow is?

Thanks!

vetterdstr · 01-27-2003, 12:06 PM

http://www.buttonwillowraceway.com is the site for BW.

This track is one of the best to learn on. :yesnod:

I'm in for the drags; questionable for Buttonwillow. Will the drags be for CF only, or a regular test and tune day (I have a neighbor with a new TT Carerra that wants to check it out).

vetterdstr · 01-27-2003, 12:31 PM

Saturday is a test and tune day. No one wants to pay the $3,000 to rent the track so we do this instead. One thing to keep in mind, the more people you bring to the track, the slower the lines are. Not that one person is going to matter... but if everyone from the CF brought one other car it would be a big difference.

That is not a bad thing for he good drivers. I have gone out and run my best time of the day on the first run before. ;)

I will add you to the list. :)

jkingsbury · 01-27-2003, 02:14 PM

I'm interested in the ButtonWillow event. Sacramento is tooooooooo far away. Thanks! :cheers:

Cricket · 01-27-2003, 02:24 PM

I am already committed to Buttonwillow but because of February being a short month and I am running Thunderhill for the forum on the 8th & 9th, not sure about the Sacramento Drags. Work is a drag no pun intended. :smash:

RichieRich · 01-27-2003, 02:45 PM

I plan on attending the drags and the high speed event if I can clear them with the fiancee. Buttonwillow's a little too far.

How busy is it on a typical test and tune day at Sac? How many runs can you expect to get in?

Light84vette · 01-27-2003, 03:59 PM

Is this mostly going to be a C5 turn out? Also will the numbers be added up with all the Racers and then they get the average for Corvettes and compare it to other cars? OR is every one on their own? :confused:

vetterdstr · 01-27-2003, 06:01 PM

All year Corvettes are welcome, each person running in the event is put into a category and you are trying to do the best you can in your category to win 1st place. Only Corvettes will be in our competition.

Please read the first post for more info. :)

vetterdstr · 01-27-2003, 06:03 PM

Richie, it is hard to say how many runs you will get at Sac. Sometimes as many as 25 or as little as 3... make each one count. The Top Speed Event is just as far as Buttonwillow from where you live.
