Upcoming Open Track day at Buttonwillow Raceway in central California

[mpozzi]

http://www.greenflagdriving.com/ for more information on this event. I've attended several of the Green Flag Driving events and they're well run, very safe with most groups having designated passing zones usually WITH a point-by, and not a lot of cars per group. In the past, most groups run for about 25 minutes per session. As Green Flag Driving is a distant offshoot of the Nor-Cal Shelby Club, most of the same cars run both club events so you'll be running with Cobras, Shelby Mustangs, and other assorted fast muscle cars. Charley Lillard usually brings something incredibly neat that goes quick down and that's worth attending just by itself.

Not sure which track configuration they'll use but there's only a couple of places that are potential problem spots (hint: think "late apex" onto the front straight). You'll mow down a tumbleweed or three if you go OC in most other areas. You'll also get called in to the pit lane and a lecture from the event marshall for annoying the tumbleweed ... safety, remember??

We usually take the motorhome down and offer up some BBQ ribs, chicken, and whatever else that once had parents for Friday and Saturday evening fare. It's potluck and we eat until it's gone!!! And I promise to NOT bring the leftover turkey ...



Update your calendars for November 29-30, 2008 as this track day will be great!!

Cheers and hope we get a good Pro-Touring turnout,
