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

Yeah, I used to go to Spring Mountain as much as I could when I lived in Las Vegas. It's about 40-45 minutes from Vegas. The pavement is almost as smooth as it is at Laguna Seca.

Here's a video from Chuckwalla going CW:

The next one is May 17/18 with Speed Ventures. After that it's gonna be way too hot out there until October. I think BMW CCA is going out there in Feb. 2015.

Just stumbled on this thread. Sorry, I've been in a coma the past 6 weeks.

Peter, thank you for posting 3D CAD screen shots of your new trailer. I just got hard.

As much as I love Thunderhill (fast, challenging track, showers, club house, awnings, mist tent, tire shop, covered gas pumps, etc.)... I can't say enough good things about the track at Buttonwillow. Just don't stay anywhere near the track, make the journey all the way into the nice part of Bakersfield.

Enrique, I watched your video... you sir, are a madman!

I'm super stoked to hear you wrong-coasters are coming out to the correct-coast for Mancation 2014!!! Looking forward to driving hard, drinking hard, bull****ting even harder and eating great food with all my friends all summer long!

Peter, you do realize Porsche Parade is in Monterey (aka Laguna Seca) this June, right? Might as well stay all summer long.

I can bull**** and drink no prob.
Wifey is threatening to come out west for spa and wine, so it's not a Mancation yet.

Porsche parade is on the list.

I just hope that the '93 will make it through all track days.

Go to the Spring Mountain website and check out the amenities....the on-site track condos are awesome! You can chill in the AC room and watch your session videos while you wait for your next track session.

Yup, GSR can handle your So Cal maintenance needs and Mooty will take care of the maintenance in Nor Cal.

Look into Porshe Train events at Oregon Raceway Park. Heard good things about the track and group. Of course you do need an invite to attend

Peter & Lar,

Lol...well I know the road very good. I have this uncanny ability to pickup and learn a road/track really quick and remember it. this particular road I have been driving since for years, so I can recite the road to you with every crack on the road.
