Event Information:
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY'S TRACK DAY:
LOCATION: Buttonwillow
Raceway is located just off Interstate 5 at the Lerdo Hwy exit, which is 10
miles north of the 58/I-5 interchange and 10 miles south of the 46/I-5 interchange.
The track is on Lerdo Hwy, ½ mile west of the freeway. Note that there is a
$10/person gate fee charged to everyone, including spectators.
SCHEDULE: You should plan
to show up at the track by 60 minutes before your first meeting. This meeting
is MANDATORY for all drivers unless you have received prior clearance to miss
it. Please check in BEFORE unloading or working on your car. The Drivers'
Meeting may begin as early as 7:00am (depending on your run group). Cars
typically go on track at 8:00am for the Advanced groups.
The snack bar will be open
for breakfast and lunch.
Either a TOW HOOK or some
TOW POINT is highly recommended on the FRONT (and recommended on the REAR) of
your car before going out on track. Please determine appropriate tow points - it is your responsibility and
we will not be responsible for any damage done to your car. If you do not have a tow-point, we will be forced to figure one out on
the fly!
CAR NUMBERS are required.
We will have tape available at the track for making numbers. Your numbers must
be at least 8" tall, located on both sides and the back of your vehicle.
You should use the number you signed up with. If you would like to change it,
please notify us at registration.

must-have at the event. It is an online form sent with the full pre-event details. For reference the PDF version is here: https://www.speedventures.com/events/tech.pdf
CAMPING will be available
Friday and Saturday nights. If you forgot the $25 camping add-on to your

$25 per driver—any non-driving friends, family, and crew do not incur an
additional fee.

to turn in your transponder at the conclusion of an event, you will be
