Default FC at Buttonwillow press corps

Looks like there will be Hot Rod, MM and fast Fords, 5.0 Mustang, and Modified Mustang all covering the event.

Modified will be pretty low key as we are doing a structured testing,MM has always covered it, hot rod never has.

My thought is MM does cover foci at times...hmmmmmmmmm FC on Sunday

SVTOA has also mentioned it on the webpage which other than a article I put together is the only mention.

Wonder if they will mention my chasing down Instructors in Cobras while Im in Walters car...

I have ran down Mustangs at SVTOA at buttonwillow and with the change that I have made to the car I hope to run down a few more Stangs. Airforce has no problem running those big monster down.

I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve for this one. Not so much extra power as some suspension goodies and a spanking new ATX that I hope will help.

I've never driven Buttonwillow before. But then, I'd never driven Streets clockwise before July either...

Progress report:
The car has better tires than it's ever had.
The front track will be nearly an inch wider.
The car will be aligned the best its ever been.
A new intake manifold will be on the car.
The tuning will be the best it's been.

I'm looking forward to the event.

It was great at Big Willow about 3 weeks ago. Good enough to get both 2006 Z06s in attendance (that must of hurt)

Buttonwillow is a very fun track. Especially for some high speed action!

It's also good for beginners in that you can keep a steady yet quick, consistent pace. Easy to learn, hard as nails to master!

I have been hearing there are some new Focus drivers coming. Dont think they are jetters, 1st timers.

Anyone know about the Arizona group?
