Buttonwillow

I just got back from riding button willow for the first time and i must say it was a great track it is now my second favorite track to play on but damn it's a 2.5 hour drive. ill post pic sand video when i finsh editing them.
I had a chance to break in my new tires BT002's, and i must say i love 'em. After getting the RIGHT tire pressure (stupid faulty pressure guage) they stuck like glue

Re: Button willow

Yeah Button Willow is a FREAKIN long drive and it took me half the day to dial in all the turns but once i did i was draggin knee the rest of the day! My fav has always been Big Willow because its so fast but now i want more turns so im thinkin Streets of Willow, heard it is slower an has more twisties.

Re: Button willow

That's a great track and that you can run it clockwise Saturday and counter-clockwise on Sunday it's like learning your lines all over!

I live in San Diego and don't mind the drive to Buttonwillow or Willow Springs.
The only thing that sucks is the cost of gas.

Re: Button willow

Hi KPIT, the pressure for those tyres in track are the same than all (except low pressure tyres) 2.1 front, 1.9 back. If you have tyre warmers better if not the fist laps do it easy.
