Craig,

There are lots of hosts at Willow that will allow a coupe to run without extra safety gear. Not racing... D.E.

Steve,

How do I find them? Are they clubs, or private track rentals? I'm happy to pay my share to get back on the big track without drilling holes in my new car.

speed ventures, track quest, speed trials, NASA, the Alfa club, pantera club, in fact, if you're not racing, even POC will let coupes out on the track without a bar.
Check the willow springs web site for events, and see who's hosting on a good weekend, and contact them for rules. But... you really need to have some of your new Rennlist buds out there with you.

I have not tried the track myself, but I can guess it's farily twisty. Kevins package seems to reduce Turbolag, something that I think you can benefit from at a track like Willow.

I've been to Willow Springs at least a dozen times, and never even walked over to the Streets course. I was always having too much fun blasting into turn 8 at 140-150, seeing my life flash before me, seeing god, and then I get to do it another lap....
