While the guys are assembled in Sydney to bring you guys coverage of the massive WTAC event, I wanted to go ahead and wrap up my own track day coverage here other side of the planet. Here's part three of my look at the Speed Ventures Buttonwillow track meet.
This E46 M3 looked ready for business with ultra-sticky rubber mounted on to its factory rims.
Another NA-chassis Miata doing what they do best – making the driver smile.
Hardtopped AP2 S2000 taking a little break from the action. One of at least a dozen cars sporting the classic RPF1.
A beautiful black E36 M3 brakes hard into the Sunset Corner before its run down the front straight.
Just in case you were wondering, yes this FD3S was rotary powered.
How about some love for the NC chassis Mazda MX-5?
Another E46 M3 looking just about perfect.
Flying brick!
A weekend warrior doing some work on his Mustang. Such a patriotic scene.
Speaking of Mustangs, check out this Fox Body LX. Still at the top of the list when it comes to bang for the buck.
A little carbon, a little steel. All good.
V35 Coupe at speed through the esses.
The coloring on this E30 race car reminded me of the DR30 Skyline RS.
Big body Audi navigating the Sunset Corner in style.
A very nice JDM-inspired take on the Civic Si Coupe.
Action shot of the BMW 2002 seen in yesterday's post.
The MA70 Supra isn't a car that you see too often at the track. This one was wearing Hawaii plates.
Well, that just about does it for my visit to the Speed Ventures track day. Hope you enjoyed.
I'm thinking about getting out to open track days like this more often. Let me know if guys want to see more of this sort of thing.

Loved this series Mike, very cool idea!
Holy is that a volvo 240 coupe?
More?!?! YES PLEASE !!!!!!!!
Bout to head on my first open track day in a couple weeks. Really excited!
YES MORE COVERAGE PLEASE!!! probably one of the most enjoyable series of posts in the past few months.
love how the 2002 owner has his elbow resting on the window sill...play it cool haha
This would be awesome! maybe some car spotlights?
Awesome post as always. Can anyone please tell me the name of the wheels of the red 325 E30?
definitely would like to see more of these sorta events!
and is it me or are there a'lot of people unsing Enkei wheels? with all the RPF1's and NT03's....
would definitely love to see more as it embodies the truth behind grassroots racing, maybe some spotlights too might do the job also.
Awesome Post Mike,
Keep them coming because this is a part of speedhunting that is neglected stateside but is always covered in Japan by Dino.
this is cool, grassroots coverage is good to see.
interesting/unique/trending details of cars from paddock is even better
Great post, I love seeing content like this. You should definitely post some more
MOAR. Especially of the #33 car. That's me!
More of this!

I think you guys should try to feature that Pro-Touring Camaro
Keep going to track day events! Grassroots driving is the best.
Please give us more of this stuff.
If I saw you guys at NASA HPDE, I would be SUPER stoked. I'd even take you guys for a ride. I think I am at the point now where I can have passengers if you have a helmet!!
Love the biug budget racing, but you have to love the grassroots racing too!!
its nice to see speedhunters covering grassroots events from time to time. shows that this great blog even covers events that are applicable to its readers.
Can we see more of that FD3S please?????
That MKIII supla looks menacing!
MOOAAARR!!!! Seriously though, these grassroots trackday events seem to slide perfectly into the whole Speedhunters scene and provide pleasant relief from the standard mix of posts.
please more grassroots stuff.. this site has lost it lately with the need for speed overload and other garbage.. we haven't seen many cool project spotlights or dope socal cars lately.. this used to be a site i checked a few times a day but recently has dropped to few times a week.. you guys must see a drop in traffic to the site over the last few months.
bring back the oldskool shit!!
Mike this stuff is great, I would even love some more in depth articles of particular drivers. I can't wait until my 240sx is finished then I can get out to some track events myself. I really love reading about the drivers though and how they prep the car.
Love this serie !! and a want more ...
watching your site all the time and it make me want to go back to cars instade on motorcyle!!!
Love that MK3 Supra
definitely need more of this!
more more more!!! speedventures are top notch, always have a blast with them. come to mazfest mike?
Without a doubt, yes, more of this! Nice to see weekend warriors!
Is that a Nissan 240z? Or 280z?
please dear Christ make that 242 a desk top!

Yes! Cover more of these events. Car shows are great, but track days are more than just standing around. Let's put our vehicles to use!
