Finished up registering for a track day on this Saturday @ Streets of Willow.
The event organization this time is Speed Ventures. This one is supposed to be much better than Extreme Speed in terms of track day management. And they let passengers for the session, so I'll be taking my wife out to the track for a lap or two for fun. And my 86 track friend who is much faster me will be in my car giving me advice for a session. That will be fun.
I was going to post a track map but Google found me this. I remember this comparison done by Motor Trend from a year back. Please nice chart done at the same track. Both are GREAT cars for the money!

I've got a 50% off on the next track day through Speed Ventures... so I'll probably go to Buttonwillow on December 20th or 21st.
Two track days baby! Can't wait to go to Buttonwillow. It's supposed to be one of the best in the west side!

many can get up to 100+ on the straight... so stay on the right side on the straight oh and that is where most of the bystanders are watching

Yeah, it's 140 miles away from my place in LA. It's not too bad. haha
I will definitely stay on the right side on the straight. bahahaha
But then again, there are a lot of people with suspension/wheels/tires who are lapping at 2:03.... which is pretty insane. I'm sure I'll be A LOT slower, but people really underestimate this car. haha

Well...the funny thing is it's because of a family issue and having to turn the Mustang in and it wasn't cost effective to take the upside down on his 2013 to trade up to the 2015 directly. So, instead, he went economical and leased the Fiesta because the low payment with his upside down was reasonable. He also said that the residual on the Focus was worse than the fiesta since they are so cheap...so he opted for it. He says with head/exhaust/intake and tune he can get 60 more HP to the wheels. He's gonna do it for sure...
He works for Ford.

An open track like SOW is fun in the rain. A track with walls and barriers with little runoff = I'd opt out.

Yeah, it'll be fine! No walls on both SOW and Buttonwillow.
OMG OMG
Daniel, you should sign up for Buttonwillow on 20th. It's not THAT far from Bay Area.

Well.. I'm going to get a ride in this car tomorrow at the track. He's fast....

Ooh, Ted's BRZ. One of my favorite builds. I've seen that car in person, that turbo looks real nice
I want to go to BW, but it's not gonna happen this month. It will more likely happen when I switch back to 91.

Just got home.
So tired.
First-ever spin out. Nothing happened. Just some dirt on the wheel.
Shaved off +5 seconds from my last time.
Got to ride in that Turbocharged BRZ for 8 laps. I learned SO MUCH from it. My next session after riding that car was completely different. My time got improved by 2 seconds off the lap consistently. I realized I was doing so many things incorrectly.
And yeah, his BRZ..... is insane. The amount of grip it gets...is just mind boggling. And the car was surprisingly very smooth and fast. Thought it would be WTF crazy in the car, but it really wasn't.
He said he has been to +20 or 30 track days this year. His car was turbocharged for a long time.

There was a black R8. It sounded beautiful and was hauling ass on the front straight.
There were couple GTRs / +10 S2Ks / +10 FRS/BRZs / +10 Miatas and a lot of M cars and Audi S cars.

I got my GoPro vids. Will upload it tomorrow. My last session felt VERY nice. I was playing with everything off and TC off/VSC sports on. My times were similar, but it's so much comforting to drive with VSC sports on.

Nice! I wish the nearest track wasn't two hours away from me.
