Buttonwillow Garages April 8th and 9th.

[Doug Liedblad]

We have reserved garages 3 and 7.

Michael Murphy has #3 under his name, I have #7 under mine.

Michael and I will arrive at about the same time, which should be between 6 and 7 PM. Maybe earlier.

We have the garages from Friday AM thru Sunday late afternoon.

Whoever gets there first is welcome to get the keys and put their car(s) in.

Please pack them tight so there is room for all. Maybe leave a number you can be reached at with the car??

If you can get someone to switch so we have two garages next to one another that might be nice.

Please leave the key or don't lock them so others can arrive late and still have access, or we can pound on your hotel room door at 3AM. Whichever you prefer.

The track told me they would be open all night. In the past they have been open until at least 10:30 PM.

I'll be staying at the track, you can reach me at 805-498-7771.

Anyone driving their Seven that wants to leave it in the garage is welcome to use my truck get to the hotel.

Brad and I will take off from LA around Friday noon, so we should be there sometime in the afternoon. We will both trailer our cars up directly to the track.

I can be reached at 1-949-294 7871. Does anyone know when we start on Saturday? Tech, Drivers Meet, etc?

Car is pre-teched in Santa Ana with no problems. He did not ask about the seat belts. He did look through the car more carefully than the guys at LASAAC, but i sailed right pass it.

A very, veyy fun event indeed. This is very much in line with our ambition to make room for everyone from beginner and upward, with a structured upgrade path for those wanting to kick things up a notch.

I think a telltale sign of this is that there were a larger (if still small) ratio of female drivers here than on the Streets events.

Miwako (my wife), who always thought that the LASAAC events where too much of a boys' party, was very attracted to the format of the NASA event with its classes and download sessions.

The last run (5.30) was beautiful, the track was virtually empty and I could (finally) start to trust my new suspension setup enough to really lean on the car and get the rhythm going. A very nice conclusion (for me anyway) to the event.
