Buttonwillow July 31

[Gitter Dun]

Speed Ventures is having a track day at Buttonwillow July 31st and August 1st.

I dont think registration is open yet but am going to schedule myself for the July 31 event.

They will be running the 13 CW configuration.

Hope to see a few PT folk there.

It will be very hot. We did that as a P-T.com group about four years ago and it was 106* in the shade.

Central Valley in late July........sizzle.

I ran Spring Mountain at 100+. No thanks.

If I can get my parts for the front end rebuild I'm in! It's a lil hot, but worth it!

[Gitter Dun]

Ah, C,mon, whats a little heat.

I blew the motor last weekend at Laguna (oops). If I can get a new motor in and her back in time + the other work I need to get done while she's down, I'll be there...but I'm not even crossing my fingers as the list is pretty large

Bummer days, looks like theres three of us so far. Hope you can get it together by then but I know how it is.

Thats what ended my days with NASA in 2006. Motor and tranny in the same season.

Hope you rebound quick.

Thanks! New motor should show up on Monday to the shop for them to start adjusting the trim (comes setup for a CTSV, some accessories and the oil pan need changing), and I'll hopefully get the car down to them next Sat. Depending how long it takes them to get the other items done on the list, this could be a good shake down day

Great News.., My motor comes back from Indiana this coming Monday, then I have to get car running by Thursday to make it to the Spectre 341 Challenge Friday and Saturday, no time to work any bugs out of it since I'm working overtime all next week and trying to drop motor in after work.

Hope you make it to Buttonwillow, should be a good time.

Update:
We got the spindles and arms from Mr. Quick!!!!! We went ahead and ordered Global West uppers and lower control arms, which showed up 2 days after I ordered them. They are the best for a reason I guess, we're impressed!!! We also installed the Hotchkis rear sway bar, but a little worried we are changing too many things at one time.

Mr. Gitter Dun no disrespect but there are so many great engine builders in California. Maybe next time give them a chance.

LOL, I hear ya, but it's hard to resist an aluminum block engine with over 600 hp for $9500. We will see if he redeems himself.

As far as Global West, I have been thoroghly impressed with their control arms and rear leaf's and am also using the Hotchkis rear bar.
Set up should work well.

Buttonwillow should be a good time and am looking forward to seeing some PT guys there. Feels like I'm pulling teeth when posting track days here and am surprised there aren't more PT folk interested.

By the way, Mr. is my dad.

Gitter, don't be too discouraged about the response yet. If it was not in the hottest time up in the Central Valley....but then again a track day......hmmmmm.

IIRC there's no AC in the garages, just shade

LOL, cool, sounds good, I talked Jeff Smith (senior technical editor for Car Craft) into coming also. he drives a '65 Chevelle and both he and his car are impressive on the road course.

Dang Gitter...nice catch!!!
