Default Buttonwillow - Interest Check

I am planning on renting out BW for 2 consecutive weekdays in late October/early November.

Am hoping to get ~10-20 others to join.

This will be a no thrills day, couple of flag workers / no food included etc.

I will be running in my racecar and maybe some time in the RS.

Track will be open all day.

Tentative dates

10/26-27
10/31-11/1

Please let me know if interested.

Thanks

The one PCA runs races on 13 right?

I'm gathering details on cost / my goal isn't to make money on this - I just can't afford to rent out track to do testing myself so need some RL friends to join me and help a bit

Right only other qualification is I know of you or someone I know can vouch for you

No yahoos - you can be slow as molasses but have to make sure you are watching mirror

Spec boxster through cups will be out on track

I could do 11/7 and 11/8 if that worked for more people

I think all in it's about 10k/day to rent but getting details

I might be in if it's the October the 26-27 date. Going during Halloween would be a no-no for me.

Pricing wise With corner workers and emergency and track coordinator we are at just under 9k/day So I think we need to aim to have 20 folks to make the price be reasonable for 2 days (900 for 2 days of empty track versus BW charges 650 per day for open testing and a ton of people show up)

Would just do dollar for dollar discount if we went over that attendance - but would need $ from 20 committed drivers to lock it.

We also cap attendance at 30 max

11/7 - 11/8 tentative dates
