Buttonwillow Raceway April 16, 2010 OPEN TEST

On April 16, 2010 Buttonwillow raceway will open their racing track. Not affiliated with any private organizations. Entire day is organized and run by Buttonwillow Raceway itself.

You may spent as much as $200 for full day. Or $110 half day. Full day is from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm (driver meeting at 7:00 am). For half day driver meeting is held at 12:00 and the track is open from 1:30 to 5:00 PM. Above pricing is driver and car separate. So if you want to share test car with your buddy you both pay $55 per driver. And $55 for the test car. For half day of fun.

As I have mentioned the OPEN TEST is hosted by Buttonwillow Raceway. For the Weekend they are not able to rent the track to organizations like SpeedVentures, The Track Club, Keigwins, California Sports Car Club, or Redline Time Attack. Buttonwillow raceway will have the day entirely open to all or us who enjoys Tracking.

There are some major advantages and things I like about OPEN TEST Day.
1. the track is not divided into run groups. A lousy 10 minute session and wait 1 -2 hours for your next. The OPEN TEST, you enter and exit the track when you feel like. Or if you run out of Gas. This if no one in your run group crashes. Because if some one gets red flag. Everybody in your run group will loose a session.
2. the price is a lot cheaper than events hosted by private organizations. Makes sense because no middle men.
3. if you want to drive hang out with friends or even do a little barbecue. The OPEN TEST track day is the best for your money.

To be honest I myself have never been to the OPEN TEST, above information was obtained through friends who have been to OPEN TEST. I was about to go on March 2010. But I found out that the configuration was 27CW. Which is only half the track compared to April 16, 2010 configuration 13. For more information from Buttonwillow Raceway website at, Buttonwillow Raceway Park. I intend to go April 16, 2010. I will tell my wife I am going to play golf, but go to OPEN TEST. Spend 1/2 day as if I am playing golf. And return home to my family.

So if you want to know more please visit buttonwillow Raceway Official Website. They have their event calendar posted on their website. And also detailed Rental Price. Or if you really want to learn more about Buttonwillow Raceway OPEN TEST, give them a call their phone number is 661-764-5333.

I just found out with Buttonwillow raceway the Open Test on April 16, 2010. Will be configuration 13 clockwise.

Open test is hit or miss. You might want to look to see if there are any big events coming up. If there are, its usually packed with people testing/setting up their cars.

Other times, if its on the same weekend as major events, it's wide open and you may only have 5 cars on the entire track at a time. Those days are awesome.

It's right before the NASA event on the weekend. I would imagine there would be quite a few ppl testing that day.
