Buttonwillow Raceway Park

Buttonwillow, California · 4.46 km · 2.77 mi · clockwise

Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Buttonwillow, California, is charted here on Race #13 Clockwise (Classic), the configuration track-day organizers and AFM run for motorcycles: 4,459 m (2.77 mi), 19 numbered turns on the organizer card — eleven rights, eight lefts — and no corner rising or falling more than 0.3 m. Turn 2 and Off Ramp are the slow point, both bottoming at 59 km/h (37 mph); Club Corner through Lost Hill is a chain of long-radius arcs with minimums of 152–188 km/h (95–117 mph). Turns 8, 15, 17 and 18 show no braking in any class. Simulated lap times run 99.1 s on a liter bike to 103.3 s on a 650 twin, averaging 153–160 km/h (95–99 mph). Every figure here is a physics-simulation estimate, not measured data.

Sunrise is a long left of 90 m effective radius held for 225 m, the longest arc in the first half of the lap, rising a negligible 0.3 m. In the simulation the supersport 600 begins braking 108 m before the corner, arrives at 140 km/h (87 mph), settles to a 117 km/h (73 mph) minimum and drives out at 159 km/h (99 mph). The liter bike brakes 147 m out for the same entry and minimum; the 650 twin brakes just 72 m out and exits at 157 km/h (98 mph). The radius sets the floor, so all three classes share the apex speed.

Sweeper is the heaviest braking zone on the lap, a 234 m right-hand arc on a 66.2 m effective radius at the end of the fastest straight. The 600 starts braking 111 m out, the liter bike 123 m, the twin 87 m, all arriving at the corner boundary at 121 km/h (75 mph) with most of the speed already gone. The minimum is 100 km/h (62 mph), the lowest reading since Cotton Corners, and the exit is 133 km/h (83 mph) on the four-cylinders and a near-identical figure on the twin, feeding into the Esses. The long arc is where the classes are most alike.

Sunset is the left that closes the lap onto the front straight: 156 m on an 83.5 m effective radius, flat. The brake marks are long — 129 m on the 600, 156 m on the liter bike, 87 m on the twin — because they begin from the Turn 18 speeds; all three arrive at 132 km/h (82 mph) and bottom at 113 km/h (70 mph). The exit is 151 km/h (94 mph) on the four-cylinders and 147 km/h (91 mph) on the twin, carried across the line. Lap time works out to 99.1 s on the liter bike, 100.3 s on the 600 and 103.3 s on the twin.
