Track day at Willow Springs 10/6
Correction: 11/6
This is a long shot, but if anyone in SoCal is interested in doing a track day at Willow Springs next Saturday check this out! I am not affiliated with them. This will be my first track day, but I'll have a "coach" with me the whole day in the G80. Let me know if you end up signing up. Would be cool to meet other folks from the forums here. Their IG is @ Extremespeedtrackevents and they've published this code SOW7 which gives $10 off. Cheers. -Mike

How did it go! Did the track bug bite you?! I track my F80 M3 CS quite often, but I just ordered an M4 that hopefully will get here in a few months. How did the G80 do?
I try to stay away from Xtremespeed. They are on the cheaper end, which means they have a higher attendance and more traffic on track. Speed Ventures, Speed District are good organizers with a lower car count. Fast Toys and Driven By Apex are two of my favorites with very low car counts. Tons of seat time at all their events! So far I've done probably 6 or 7 track days with them including Laguna Seca 105db. They have another one coming up at Big Willow on 12/10! https://www.drivenbyapex.com/events/.../10/big-willow Also check out ADAMS MOTORSPORTS PARK on Friday nights where they have TIME ATTACK. I try to go once or twice a month. Fairly cheap and really fun and not so much wear and tear on the car as a track day. It's basically 9 laps a session on a small track. They do the timing and you get to have some friendly competition against all the other drivings. Very casual, no pressure, very friendly! Not too many F8X or G8X's either, it would be fun to see more of us out there! Saturday is DRIFT NIGHT too if you're interested.

I attended an Extremespeed event a few weeks ago. Their price point attracts a big crowd, but for some reason the one I attended wasn't so bad. Beginner group was a little crowded, but Intermediate and Advanced were pretty wide open with only a few instances of bunching up that was easily resolved with a hot pit. I'm willing to give them another go in the future... but only in intermediate run groups.

I actually went to there event about a month ago at Sow and due to speed ventures being full. I had similar issue but with intermediate being to crowed and people not allowing to pass or give appropriate point by and inform marshals but didn’t seem to care. I got my seat time though |

I usually run with Speed District. You're on the track once an hour and lowish car counts. Because the track days are a little more expensive, you tend to get some better hardware out there like Porsches, McLarens, BMWs, etc. Timing and pictures are also included with the admission.
Extreme Traffic has cheap track days because of the massive car count. You also get kids that can barely afford to maintain their cars so they dump oil on the track, lots of offs that lead to delays and sometimes fires. One time when I was running RTA during an Extreme Speed event, one guy in a G35 didn't know how he was going to get home because he didn't have enough money for gas. On Grid is good too. If you're new to their events and try to sign up for Advanced, you'll need someone to refer you and back up your skills. Been to way too many events where people sign up for the fastest run group because they have a "fast" car and end up doing 50 through Riverside at Button Willow. Anyway, hope to meet up with some of you guys at the track some day when my car comes in next month. |
