Default **/26 Track Day Megathread**

Let's make a consolidated track day thread. For organizing HT track days, discussing gear, politics, tracks, trackday orgs, and trackday debriefs.

Anyone riding 6/29 at SOWS or 7/5 and 6 at Buttonwillow? I'll be at both!

Surgically repaired arm feels real solid and i think i'll be able to actually start getting back on the pace, as i think i'll be able to brake and set up for left turns without feeling like my arm is gonna snap in half!

I won't be able to make the 6/29 but the 7/5 @ BW sounds like fun.

7/4 at streets of willow (Ti2tt), 7/5 and 7/6 at buttonwillow (The Track Club)

7/4 might be sold out. 7/5 and 6 are probably filling up fast if not full.

billy, i think SBN should have 1, 2, or 3 garages even, so i'm just gonna freeload.

i'm riding B group both days (5th and 6th), hopefully my crappy buttonwillow pace picks up after 2 days there.

Fair enough. I might just grab a garage and plan on people looking to share. Should be a fun weekend.

Jasper, time to invest in some heavy weights to tie down that tent!
