NSX Only Track Day @ Buttonwillow

[illwillem]

I've lit a fire under my own ass on fixing my NSX for the event. You can add me to the list Jim, be happy to help out where needed. At the very least I can do ride along's for anyone who's interested.

 

[moderu]

^I'll take you up on that offer Will AND Jim. Free instruction from great drivers?! Hell yeah!

 

[Coz]

Very cool Will, was hoping I would hear from you
Consider it done !

I remember a nice write up done by Mcano (Mario) of his first time out at NSXPO Las Vegas. Some very good info here if you want to prep;

Thanks for sharing, Mario.

Thanks for posting. My writeup since I'm going to Button Willow at the end of the month and I needed a refresher on what I wrote. This time I will be driving my 97 NSX that has 38 more horsepower and is a six speed. This will add to things I need to deal with, but I hope after a few laps these changes will be a non issue.

Good luck to you on your track experience

Mario

**UPDATED**

I would like to start a list of guys that would like to instruct in the beginners " Blue " Group.
I ask that only people with major amounts of track time volunteer to be instructors.
I will hold a short NSX Instructor meeting the morning of to offer some suggestions on how to instruct, pre-session/after session discussion with your student and how to progress your student in the safest way possible.

Please PM me to discuss and I will add you to the list.

INSTRUCTOR LIST:

1. Jim Cozzolino
2. Ryan Rush
3. Jon Naya
4. William Drees
5. Micheal Tsay
6.

STUDENT LIST: BLUE GROUP

1. akira3d
2. DASHNBY
3. LMR
4. Valhalla
5. Winx909

Amazing! We're all lucky to have so many expert drivers/instructors who are also NSX owners. Seems like all the moons are aligned for the 18th.

Thanks Jim for taking charge of this.

**UPDATED**

If you guys running in the Blue Group don't want instructors, speak up.
I assumed those in the Blue group wanted instructors, my bad....
Didn't mean to insult those with experience in the Blue Group
So we'll call it beginners

List is updated.
I would say we have plenty of instructors for the beginners that want instructors. Thanks guys for stepping up !

So I got some bad new yesterday about my NSX. Sounds like there is a problem in the bottom end and will probably require a rebuild.... (again)

Needless to say i wont have my NSX to give ridealongs but, im still planning on being there to instruct/help out

This means you get to drive my car. Too bad I won't have a 4th gear. Damn it.

NSXs going down and track day hasn't even arrived yet lol

 

[Coz]

That really sucks Will...the "again" even sucks more, as I know too well, having been there and done that myself

Is it really closed? I was able to move my work Sked and get sat off. Looks like there is still room in black. I am trying to email speedventures to get authorization for that group to register.

2 questions:

1. When do we make final payment?
2. Is it possible to store my car in a garage at the track and come back for it at a later date?

 

[RYU]

I have the final list below and now in the process of reconciling fees. There are some folks that did not specifically use the NSX Group code but you were flagged as having an NSX. If you DO NOT want to run with the NSX group you need to PM me immediately.

A1: Speed Ventures will charge the Credit Card you used during sign-up once I lock down the fees. That will be in the next week.

A2: I'm not sure since Buttonwillow owns the track but SV rents out the garages from them. When you say "later date" how long do you expect that to be? I'll inquire with SV.

Roger, I'd just call the track directly.

 

[RYU]

Roger, keep in mind there is also a Sunday event. Not sure if you're both days but you'll need to secure Day 2 garage rentals with SV directly.

Hi Ryu,

C, Jeff

I should be running with the blue group I talked to Speed Venture about that already...

 

[chang99]

Hi Ryu,

C, Jeff

I should be running with the blue group I talked to Speed Venture about that already...

Just registered today and paid $ 170.00 + $ 10 timing, is that correct ?

 

[akira3d]

I'm confused...I thought the blue intermediate group was part of the or a NSX run group...which I'm pretty sure I specified when I signed up with SV. What changed?
