Spring Mtn event done. New track we were 3rd group on it. Big rock hazard as any off brings big rocks on track and lots if cracked windshields in race groups.

Next stop Willow Springs Wednesday then onto the RL crew and Peter at BW on Friday.

You haven't been to Big Willow or Willow Springs :-) I'm still picking rocks out of mine and haven't been there for 3mo.

Dude, stay in Buttonwillow if you want. There aint crap there!

Bakersfield has all the major crap you will find in a big town, it's just 30 miles east of Buttonwillow - straight down the 58. But you probably won't find great accomadations until you practically hit the 99!

Also be-frigen-ware of speeding on the 58 coming into Bako, they give out tickets like they are going out of style.

If you have any questions on where to stay in Bakersfield where your car won't get messed with, track car that is just drop me a line.

This might give me a reason to get out of town this weekend.
