June 7 - Sampson Racing RX-7 @ Innaugural 6 Hours of Buttonwillow
I've also posted a notice of this event in the Race Car Tech forum, but I wasn't sure how many of you check in there. Sorry if cross-posting this info is inappropriate.
I'll be driving the Sampson Racing FC RX-7 in this race on Saturday. Normally the NASA enduros attract a couple of 1st and 2nd gen cars, so come on out and enjoy an exciting afternoon of sports car road racing, including great access to all of the action on pit lane. For those who haven't been there before, Buttonwillow Raceway Park is only about two hours north of Los Angeles and within sight of the 5 freeway at the Lerdo Highway exit. For detailed directions, visit:

On June 7, 2008 the inaugural 6 Hours of Buttonwillow presented by AEM will make history at Buttonwillow Raceway Park. This event is a warm-up to NASA's legendary 25 Hours of Thunderhill and should be equally as exciting for both the competitors and fans coming to watch the race.
The race will begin at 12:15 pm, which will place all the competition in daylight, allowing competitors to forego the lights usually required for night racing. One warm-up and qualification session will precede the start of the race so the racers will have sufficient track time to shake down their rides prior to the green flag. The race will conclude with a champagne award presentation followed by a delicious BBQ and Beer Garden sponsored by AEM. NASA SoCal is also proud to announce that the Mike Reilly Band (former Allman Brothers band member) will be jamming on stage as the race concludes flooding the track with their signature Blues Rock sound.
