SpeedVentures - Big Track at Willow Springs July 12th!

[fluxen]

Hi all!

Our next event is Friday, July 12th, 2002
Price: $120 (+$20 instructor fee required for novices)

Duration: 1 day / 2.5 hours of track time per group!*

Track: Willow Springs Big Track (near Lancaster, CA)

Registration: Registration is open

Event Info:

Willow Springs is "The fastest track in the West", one of the few tracks where a fast street car can break 140mph. From the thrill of speeding through turn 8 at 120+mph to the "pucker factor" of getting the infamous turn 9 right, WSIR offers high-speed thrills found on few other tracks anywhere.

We will be running the full track in the clockwise direction (the only configuration normally run at Willow). As usual, we will be running three run groups, with five sessions per group, 30 minutes per session. Details on the day's schedule are available here.

Please note that some form of rollover protection is required at this track for convertibles. Cars equipped with stock hoops (S2000's, Z3's, etc.) are fine.

For registration and more information, see our website at http://speedventures.net/7-12-2002_event.asp

fluxen,

Would you like to speak to any of the concerns raised here and here about a recent SpeedVentures track event?

That M3 guy should have been kicked out of the event before that happened. We used to have a rule that if you spin once, you get a lecture / warning. Twice - maybe another warning or get kicked out, dependinmg on the circumstances. Third strike - your're out.

Ive also been to open track events like one at Hallett last year where everyone was in one run group incluing first timers, and there was next to no supervision or track rules!

Anyway, we will have a small NSX contingenet at this event in question. Ross Olney and myself may be instructors, so if any NSX track newbies in SoCal are thinking of coming, we are already discussing it here:

nsxtasy - You probably saw that I did go comment on those threads.

In any case, just a note for you guys: I'm leaving tomorrow to go to the British GP and the Goodwood Festival, so I won't be at WSIR on the 12th. Aaron is running that event solo, so if you have any questions, please email him at [email protected] (I probably won't be crusing the forums while I'm there).

Have fun at WS!

Man you guys get cheap track time! I can't get near a track for less than twice that per/hr and the tracks here aren't worth it.
