Buttonwillow Circuit - Acura CL Type-S -

My fastest lap of the day @ the new Buttonwillow Circuit ! (SpeedVentures 2/9/2025 - Black Group,
Session 5)

Man these 300tw Chinese tires definitely weren’t the best, but we made due with what we had !

Car was severely shaking under braking but was consistent, possibly warped (new) rotors or imbalanced wheels. So I had to brake light and early every apex.

Stock seat isn’t great! No real side bolstering and head was hitting the roof with a helmet !

Other than that, first track day with the car was a blast! Very capable with some tweaks to the overall setup, but I’m just happy the car drove ~200 miles each way to the track and back and did all 6 sessions today with no other hiccups or temp issues !
