Where are the links to these Buttonwillow days? I would love to go back.
I finally put my right rear brake duct on (My car actually came from the factory missing one). My rear sway bar also came loose after I adjusted it which seems to be pretty common so I got that tightened up too.
I also have maybe one or two track days left in my tires so I think it is time to put them down once and for all!

Yes, speed SF.
My times won't be any good! I've never been on the track and have no clue how to drive it. I'm going to be following you guys!

I hope to join you but considering its Thanksgiving weekend its unlikely i’ll be able to attend. Have a great time! BW is my personal favorite Socal Track. Plenty of room for mistakes there.

Yup. That is why I stopped driving the gt3 in 2016. Then we found a way to run Re71r on 19" wheels and the fun started again. Then the 19" forgelines cracked. Doh!

There have been a few posts of cracked GT4 wheels. My local dealer had one with the entire center section broken out of the wheel. Ugly.

Wow - I've never heard of something like that happening to a set of forgelines. I'm on my 4th set, and know of a few others who are not exactly easy on their wheels. Knowing forgeline, I'd expect them to take care of you.
