Looks like we will be at BW and Sears Point at the same time

Mooty

360 miles from TH to BW isn't bad but I would probably ditch the last session at TH. Us One Lappers are used to long transits Still u are probably correct in doing 3 days at BW is the better option.

Not worried about high speed, 4.0 is gone, the old 964 has no power :-)
California Speedway is ok, but you'll like Buttonwillow, Spring Mountain, and Chuckwalla a lot better. All those tracks don't have many walls and a lot of run-off in case you go off. Spring Mountain has member condos on the track that you can rent at $135/day...freaking awesome! The track is 3.4 miles too and super smooth....they have a clubhouse with a bar and massage service if you want. Plus, the Bunny Ranch is a short drive away if you are down for a little more fun.

LOL,
We bring our own Xanax, muscle relaxers, alcohol and we book hotel next to MassageEnvy's.
Bunny Ranch goes a bit far.
Spring mountain is where the Corvettes are too right?

Thanks, Spring Mountain looks great! Button willow a bit rougher but great track.
I'll be renting a cottage ASAP and look at the video's of all the tracks for a bit when I have some more time

Some of the best canyon roads in the world here in CA. There are many that can be included in routes between tracks. My "must do" list:

1. PCH from Santa Monica to Oxnard. Throw in the Muholland / Stunt / Piuma loop for fun
2. Highway 33 from Ojai to Buttonwillow. Possibly my favorite in all of CA
3. Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo to Carmel and possibly all the way to Monterey.
4. My secret Marin loop.
