SoCal Vintage BMW is teaming up with the Vintage Auto Racing Association

(VARA) as we will sponsor a drive up to Buttowillow Raceway via CA Highway 33 on Saturday, Septmenber 13. We will assemble in Ojai about 7AM, and head up the beautiful drive through the mountains and down into the Central Valley, past Carrizo Plain and take the CA 58 turnoff at McKittrick to go to Buttonwillow.

VARA will have a reserve area in front of the West garages for the BMW's. Jeff Ireland will have a garage and will host a get together Saturday afternoon with drinks and snacks. He'll bring some giveaways as well.

There will also be an opportunity for you to take your Vintage BMW around the track as well duringthe lunch break.

VARA will be having a BBQ with Brats, kraut etc. Tickets for the BBQ are $15. VARA are always open to spectators and car clubs. The great part is the venue is basically free and the racing is fun to watch.

I am pretty familiar with Ojai and highway 33.

Jeff, do you have a designated meeting spot or would you like input on that?

Sunday is the the day with the German challenge feature race after all......and all the flag races......

not that sat. will be any less fun.......just curious?

Some guys will be up there 2 days, the others are doing a day trip, the consensus was folks wanted to do the drive on Saturday. Pierre, you are more than welcome to be the pace car, and maybe we should all assemble at Ojai? At the gas station? You tell me....
