One Lap of California

[scottleslie]

Once we get back to normal, whatever that is, I have a proposal for a new event modeled after the Tire Rack One Lap of America.

Basically running a time trial event each day at different tracks. For example, leave Friday night for Chuckwalla, race Saturday at Chuckwalla and drive to Spring Mountain. Race Sunday at Spring Mountain and drive to Willow Springs, race Monday at Willow Springs and drive to Buttonwillow, race Tuesday at Buttonwillow and Drive to Laguna Seca, race Wednesday at Laguna Seca and drive back to Streets of Willow, race Thursday at SOW and drive to AutoClub Speedway, Race Friday at the AutoClub Roval, then drive to San Diego, Autocross Saturday at SDCCU stadium and have the awards ceremony. You can have multiple drivers but you must drive your track car from one event to the next, and you must run on the same set of tires all week (allowed one spare per wheel size).

What do you think?

Looks like fun but hard to set up.
I would probably also replace Spring Mountain with Thunderhill Raceway since it is in California.
CVR to Big Willow to Buttonwillow to Thunderhill to Laguna Seca to SOW to Auto Club Speedway to SDCCU

sounds awesome. driving the 350mi to thunderhill from buttonwillow in 1 day would be quite the task. maybe sonoma if you wanted to keep it all CA? spring mountain sounds great though, to me.

i'd be in on most of this (no streets or autoclub for me...). following.

Sounds like fun but may need to optimize the route a bit.
The longest drive should probably be to the NorCal tracks (Friday), the shortest one should be from the closest track to SD for the AX event.
No way anyone is going to last on one set of tires, or without an oil change.
If you can make it work, awesome! I'm there
As long as I can get new RE-71R's and oil changes on the way.
