The SOW is a fairly technical track for me to run my TT at my skill level. Not enough straights to let loose the HP other than in the back and front straights.

I run in the "black" group (high intermediate) with SV and during the down load meetings you can figure out (only came across 1 or 2 guys so far) who thinks he is "Gods gift to racing". I let them pass even if I have to slow way down coming out of the bowl. They are the ones I see go off track in a cloud of dust a few moments later after a hasty pass.

If they feel you are holding them up, they can always go to the hot pit to get some distance.

Do not let anyone push you into driving harder than you are comfortable with.

Remember smoothness builds confidence, which builds speed.

This Saturday and Sunday at Buttonwillow with SV, 4 to 5 passing zones with the intermediate groups (blue, purple and black).

 

Good luck and have fun at Buttonwillow.. I was just there two weekends ago with NASA.

 

I was a 2 or 3 cars behind you in the silver TT during the tech inspection on Saturday.

NASA needs to separate the HPDE1 and 2 groups to avoid traffic issues. Some drivers are too fast to be mixed in with new or slower drivers.

Traffic was an issue on Saturday (as expected), but was much better on Sunday though.

Yes I remember you Especially when I let you pass me on the front straight... you just blew by me.

ps I'm glad there was another 6speed brother watching my back

 

IMO SV>NASA...NASA gives you like 4X20 minute sessions with **** like download meetings after each sessions consuming your entire day. SV is you run in Red than this is full tilt boogie running, if not for you than run Blue or Black group. I have run with both and SV is much better....

 

I agree SV is better for a driver with some or alot experience to get more track time. For the beginners or drivers with minimal experience NASA is a good deal, since SV charges $50-$200 extra (depending on the amount of sessions) for an instructor. Whereas NASA is included.

Going run in Black with SV a few more times and move to Green. Then to "full tilt boogie" Red.

Are you going to be at Buttonwillow this weekend with SV?

 

I'll be at the SV event at CA Speedway on 11/20 & 21 (roval track) if anyone wants to join me. I'm still a novice, only been once and I'm hooked.
