Wow, May weather at Buttownwillow Rcwy and it wasn't 100 degrees and windy! Highs were only in the 80s, lucky us. My Lola was running great, but unfortunately we had a lot of attrition within the Wings & Slicks group this weekend, started with eighteen and finished with ten :-( I had a couple of good starts against faster cars and had some fun racing within the group. And … [Read more...] about VARA Buttonwillow – May, 2025

This year's VARA-U driving school had unusually nice weather, sunny and cool, and no rain or fog. Students within four different groups got their usual dose of classroom instruction, braking and slalom exercises, skidpad laps, and lots of track time.
