went out to buttonwillow raceway park on saturday and took some photos in between sessions

just wanted to share, i've uploaded all of these photos on my blog, feel free to cruise over to

my buddy's s2k, i sat in his car on the first session for purple and he spun out at over 85mph, fun times, and this is the result


saw this nice r3 parked across from us, the driver was in the purple group also, and pulling in some decent times, anyone here?


some miatas


this one is also my friends miata, he was having issues inbetween sessions, like power steering blowing up haha


spec mx-5, the owner was very nice, and he was telling us about how mazda seals the engine so the internals can not be worked on,


some pretty hardcore civics, running on r comps




s2000s are a common sight at bw






this lancer was owned my a scotman with the best accent possible, and possibly one of the most hardcore evo's i've seen in person, he competes in timeattack





some random other cars











and probably the coolest group of cars i saw that way was the vipers, there were alot of them, and only one or two still seemed like they were street driven, the rest looks like they eat the track for breakfast, i managed to pass one btw









and after all that, i realized i never took a picture of my own car

so here is me, with some crazy body lean

 

awesome pics man! i think ive seen that r3 on here before but i cant remember his screen name.

 

Very nice

Hopefully I can start hitting the track soon.

 

I have always loved the viper!

 

Awesome pics. I love cars that are actually driven and are not garage Queens.

 

thanks, thats my notion too, cars are meant to be driven. The vipers are sick!

Sifu, just go for it man, me n my buddy started last year, its so much fun, just remember to maintain your car well and u'll be fine

 

^ Will do...thanks for the tip

 

^ ive been thinking about it too but with the ss not the 8 ... ive done almost a full suspension on it and rims now maybe some track tires and another set of rims and ill start tracking it

 

haha I'd suggest starting out on crappy tires and upgrade to some cheaters later, honestly though it doesn't really matter whats on your car, one time a bunch of us went out to streets of willow and we all got smoked by an instructorin a honda pilot.

my friend whos also an instructor and races in Porsche spec series ran a 2:15 at button willow in a stock vw toureg, thats the same time my other buddy pulls in his s2000 with bridgestone re11s and kwv3 coilovers

 

hey bro, is that WWP your car? where are the body kits?
and did you added a roll cage inside? i saw a pipe inside the car.

 

hey man, yea thats me, i took off the body kit a while back, because i kept on hitting parking stops, and then i got a roll cage and bucket seat

 

I seen that group of Vipers eat at BJ's in Palmdale, CA..... It was about 7 of them...they are from different areas in SOCAL

 

Nice. You do know rock chips occur more so down low that up high.

 

i know i know, but my bottom part of the front is already f-ed so i was just trying to keep what i can and still be lazy

 

Hey there, sorry to bump, but I was curious what was your time at Buttonwillow? Any modifications done to your car?

Oh and would you happen to know what the R3 was running?
