Old FRIENDS at the TRACK | RUN IT! Buttonwillow
4am in the morning, predicted 35% of rain, overcast and very cold.
Only an idiot would trek out to a small town, died center, in California. Only an idiot because Thanksgiving dinner is still settle'n. And only an idiot if you're not a car fanatic. Because in the middle lies Buttonwillow raceway. I missed the 4am caravan that included a few M3 and a trailer'd E36 M3. A few friends including Pak, Nick, Zoeb, Long, Ivan, Rene, Charlie, and John. Happy to travel alone up the 5fwy at 5am gave me a chance to digest my meal the night before. One friend went missing, Darren (Creaminz). Darren was scheduled to come out to this event but rushed out of the country with very important family matters. Poor guy was look'n forward to this day too - but family comes first. Long story short, I later found out a family member was hospitalized. The guy was stressed and last thing on his mind was eating, sleep'n or track'n. Darren, i know ur back in town so I'd imagine things are alittle bit better. Luv u man - nohomo So the guys manage to get to buttonwillow at 7am - oh wait that's the same time i arrived. I guess pull'n a trailer and stop'n for breakfast couldn't stop my heavy right foot from gett'n there on time too. lol. Thanks Nick for ur buddy's track event. BOB'S Trackday 2011. LTBMW, Wheeldude and few friends ran a bounty-full day at Buttonwillow. Anybody can track and it fun. Thanks guys - pictures follow. cold, breezy, great weather to run the bimmers E36 M3 fully functional - Added KW Clubsports u won't know it but the driver's happy as chit. Ivan kill'n it on the track - Buttonwillow is a challenging track. em, KW suspension ftw. Guess who - Nick is humble and a ninja on the track. take a corner - KW ftw again. omg - is that zoeb>? - funny thing is, we ran into SHiV from vishnu. he brought out another german auto. even zoeb's M3 has a 3 o'clock shadow - shave ur sh*t pretty damn fast. really damn fast. one of the runs/heats was dedicated to drift'n seeing this in ur rearview mirror can be scary. "DON'T SIT ON THE CONCRETE WALL!!!" busted. LTBMW and friends. sunset - sexy time - didn't even have to ask to pose - they did it on their own. again. zoeb secretly loves the camera. photo op end of day.

For the track, I was really looking forward to this track event to test out my E90, and since all of you guys were going I knew it'd be a blast, hopefully there's another track day like this again soon thanks for the coverage! Pictures look great! See you soon my man!! |
