We have a preliminary schedule sent into Speedventures. We will post it up once its approved. You can bank on Buttonwillow at the end of January as the opening event.

Happy Holidays!

Trying to set prime days without the corvettes.

The FR-S is now the semi-dedicated track car.. I can finally stop worrying about being carless whenever something breaks.

The S2K is my new daily (15 min commute FTW) and non-track weekend toy. No immediate plans for it other than better pads, fresh fluids and tires once I finish off the Z1s it came with.

Thought I'd add my 2 cents since I'm new and planning on doing the s2k challenge this year..

I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread and the major issue for me with SV is the price. I purchased 8 track days with another group for $50 per day including timing. I can use these at any track they go to except ACS. I realize this isn't the norm, but it does make it difficult for me when SV is 3x the price. I'd be willing to buy a package deal from Speed Ventures if it were offered and got some form of discount. Season Pass for s2k Challenge?

That said.. The events I've been to with Speed Ventures have run much smoother, on schedule, and I've had a great time. It seems to me that the overall skill level is much higher with Speed Ventures, and I've felt much safer with the SV drivers on track. Looking forward to some competition, can't wait to start driving this year!

The quality of driving is significantly more valuable than the cost of the day and the person who manages SV is much easier to work with. While the other venue is great for practice and dialing in the car, it's also a venue that's rather challenging to provide consistent clean laps. Each venue has its pros/cons, however, S2kC works best under SV.
