Hey Gavin,

I think I may be interested in this event. Have you seen my last post on my track day at buttonwillow last week:

How does the Big track at Willow Springs compare to Buttonwillow? What is the difference with the Streets? Are you taking your M5 out?

Hi James,
Yeah I had seen that and knew about Buttonwillow, but could not get the time to head out there : ( I am still working on the hall pass for April 12th. I have no idea how the two tracks compare, I have heard the Willow Big Track is the fastest track in California! Not sure if that is true or not, reading differnt stories I have heard Beasts will do 130 to 150.
We should hook up before then, PM me when you have a chance. I would like to know who has been working on your car in this area.

Hey, are other cars besides M5's welcome? I haven't driven my EVO MR on the track yet, but looking forward to putting it thru its paces. My cousin has a 996 TT that he would like to track as well.
