As you know, The Shop attended a track day on Black Friday, hosted by owner of Bob’s Donuts, Don Ahn. The event took place 4 hours south of the Bay Area at Buttonwillow Raceway. I rolled in with a couple friends and customers of the shop the night before because of the 7:30am drivers meeting. This was the most diverse track day that I have attended. There were your drifters, you had your Corvette drivers, BMW guys, and some Honda Challenge competitors. There was a Dodge SRT-10 truck driving around and Matt, in his Police Interceptor (long story short, the RX-7 wasn’t ready to be tracked). Moring sessions started with the drifters, they never cease to amaze me and they never cease to kick up dirt onto the track. since the day started late, they had to combine the novice, intermediate, and advanced group. We BBQ’d for lunch before the afternoon sessions begun. Towards the end of the day the wind picked up and the clouds moved in and started to drizzle, it wasn’t enough to stop the last session, but it made for some hairy conditions. I wan to thank Don for allowing me to get on track to take pics at the 1st and 2nd hills. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment for more please visit our gallery.
