There are opportunities to run 2 great tracks this month. RacerFactory is running this weekend, Jan. 15 & 16. at Buttonwillow. It is $325 for the entire weekend, and you get LOTS of track time, like 2 1/2 hours a day, plus lunch and a t-shirt. There are still a few spots open. Go to www.racerfactory.com to sign up.

Trackmasters is running Infineon-Sears Point on the weekend of Jan. 22 & 23. It is only $270 for 2 days, which is a great deal. It is acutally a NASA event, but they had space, so Trackmasters gets 4 25-minute run sessions each day. Follow this link http://www.trackmasters-racing.com/html/abouteventssp1-22-05.html to sign up. There are only a few spots, so sign up quickly if you want to go. You must be an intermediate or advanced driver, no beginners at this one.

Hope to see you there.

 

A good time was had by most (but not all) at Buttonwillow last weekend (1/15-16/04). There were 4 EVOs, including Aaron Bitterman's, but he didn't take his on the track. He drove my RRE/Muellerized RS for a few laps and said it felt like it had 100 hp more than stock. I am not as fast a driver in the corners as a lot of people out there, but on the straights, nothing could stay with me except the Radicals, which went flying by, and a Z06, which couldn't pull away, we were about even in acceleration.

Also there was my buddy Sosa with his 350Z, and his brother who has an EVO. Sosa's brakes went out and the Z went deep into the mud and had to be pulled out. That was the end fot he day for the Z, but Sosa took his brother's EVO out and beat my times.

There was also a guy I don't know in a silver EVO who ran in the advanced group. He had some serious skills. It looked like he was auto-xing out there drifting through turns, etc.

The bad news was that a guy in a BMW 330i rolled it and landed on his roof. The driver was not hurt, but the car is a mess.

 

Everyone know that Silver Evos are generaly faster on the track

 

That's so funny because every fast Evo I see out on the track is Silver
