This is one of the best track day organizations out there, always enjoy jointing them at Buttonwillow

Wen to one of their events at Buttonwillow a month ago and it was Awesome. I've been going to track events for 10 years now and this event gave me the most seat time I've ever had in a single day. The event ran smooth and was well organized. I was breaking in a new engin and the non stop track time was perfect. I will definitely be going back with these guys again read more

These guys put on great track days. Very low key bunch of guys who keep everything moving on time. I've been to other events put on by other companies and Josh and the gang do such a better job. Low car count on the day I ran and got in lots of laps. The New Buttonwillow Circuit track is Great! read more

Josh@speeddistrict sets up the best track days! Literally the most track time out of any other organization. Unlike others, you run once every hour. Low total car counts and sooooooooooooooo much track time. Not to mention, one other super great thing to mention is the people... everyone there is just super cool and supportive. No egos. ...the only track organization I ever go out with. Nobody else comes close. read more

I've been to dozens of track days at Willow Springs, Buttonwillow, Chuckwalla and Sonoma. Last weekend I tried SPEED DISTRICT for the first time. A totally different vibe... Excellence at all levels - professional, kind, courteous, ON TIME, etc... They are the way to drive. Gil Junger read more

This place is the absolute best. Don't go anywhere else. If you wanna take your car to the racetrack they are super helpful and are willing to teach you and help you with everything you need to know especially if you're a beginner like myself and everybody has nice cars so you don't need to worry about anybody crashing into you. And josh is the best you can ask him for anything! read more

Speed District is my favorite track organization in So. Cal. I have run with every other organization in So. Cal. and have even gone to private track days... Everyone pales in comparison to Speed District. It seems like Josh and Speed District have spoiled me from going to other track days. Josh is great and really takes care of you and makes sure you're happy. Yes, it is a bit more costly than the others, but you definitely get what you pay for... There is a very low car count, no crowds, great management and great customer service. What does that all mean? Less traffic, faster times and more speed, while still being safe on track. Highly recommended. read more

Speed District - A great day with Speed District. - Race Tracks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Miles ahead of any track day organizer. I've experienced multiple different organizers-- some good and some horrible-- but none of them compare to the quality of Speed District. For the last year and a half I've tracked an M4, 570S, 488GTB, and now Performante with Josh at various tracks and have NOT ONCE felt unsafe. I will justify my 5-star rating with the following criteria: Safety: Josh and his team pride themselves on running a professional event. New drivers and returning drivers respect the track, the people, and, most of all, each other. The limited car count and courteous drivers further attracts clientele that have the same mindset. Josh does not advertise Speed District because he believes in word of mouth, and this ethos has more than showed its value during events. The Staff: You'll begin to recognize and enjoy the company of his team. And the main reason is because they enjoy their work and being around cars. No attitude and extremely proactive in making sure YOU enjoy your hard earned track day. Value: For a little more money than "competitors" you get 20 minutes every hour, and if that wasn't enough, they also have open-track for the remaining 2 hours in the afternoon. Chances are you'll be tired or hanging out with your friends around the pits talking about cars than actually going out to do more runs. Additionally, transponders and photos are included in the price. There is seriously nothing else they can do other than to continue organizing track days to make us happy. Do I recommend Speed District events? Yeah... only if you maximize track time, hang out with friendly people, and protect your cars from reckless drivers. If that doesn't interest you then you're better off going somewhere for half the price! read more

Very well organized trackday events. I've ran with other organizations such as Speed Ventures, Extremespeed, and other private events. Many of them are overly crowded, business oriented, and dangerous to drive with. It will cost more to run with speed district but it's well worth my money. By limiting the number of participants, you are entitled to more driving time, less traffic, and more fun! I usually have to work saturday afternoon. But I still get plenty of track time when i'm with this group. By lunch time or soon after, I'm already happy with what I've done for the day and am ready to leave. One of the other reasons why I like this organization is because of the people. Josh always takes care of his customers. Drivers are usually very friendly and courteous out at the track. When there are problems, the staff members listen and try to fix it. Over the past few years, I have attended many of Speed District's track events. Whether I was driving a 30 year old track car or a brand new BMW/Porsche, I was always treated well. I always had a good time and will continue to come back. read more

One star for customer service. My trailer had a blowout on my way to the event which pretty much ruined my whole day. Buttonwillow isn't a 3hr drive for me so left at 5am. Blow out was around 7am, had to wait for tire shops to open, get two new tires and by the time everything was done it was already 1pm. I pretty much emailed Josh shortly after it happened in the am and again yesterday with no response back. Asking for voucher to the next track day, meanwhile I spent $340 which basically donated away. Maybe now I'll get a response back. read more

Best track day experience, period. You get more track time than you or your tires can handle, everything's included so you get some great pics of your car and an safe, fun, seat of your pants experience. I've been with this group at Buttonwillow, Willow Springs and Mazda Laguna Seca and every event is well organized and you get so much track time that most people leave early as their endurance or their car's tires are toasted before 2:00pm. They usually do open track time in the afternoon and very few people have any tires left, so you're free to run as much as you can. I've seen reviews for other groups where you only get 4-5 sessions in a day, that's not the case with Speed District as you'll get as much track time as you can handle. Josh and Reuben are laid back but serious about their sport, always a good time and worth every penny. read more

Speed District - Race Tracks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just discovered Speed District. I am in Central Cal, and they are a SoCal organization...discovered them through a Porsche Focused Board, Rennlist. I recently attended one of their "private"*** track days, Buttonwillow Raceway, Configuration 13, CW. OMG the exotics that showed up...and you are on the track with these monsters..we're talking McClarens, Porsche GT3 and GT3 Cup Cars, Vipers, exotics so exotic I didn't know what they were. Check your mirrors because you are going to be passed, on multiple occasions. The participating drivers were courteous and all were there to celebrate their good fortune (They have a car suitable for the track), and can take a day off. Drivers were on their best behavior. I saw no "incidents" up until I left for home at 3:00 PM...they shut the track down at 5:00 PM. The track was "Hot" from 9:00 Am until 12:30 PM, and 1:30 PM until 5:00 PM...that's the possibility of seven (7) hours of track time, enough to satiate most. Passing is with a recommended point by...I gave quite a few, and received a few as well. Good driver deportment. Josh and his crew kept everybody focused on the task at hand, to drive safely on a great track and having fun. Speed District does have a loyal clientele. When you check their schedule for the year, you'll see lots of one (1) day events. This is very appealing to some with families and jobs...Speed District keeps their attendance controlled to the point where you'll have lots of track time, more than other clubs can provide you in a weekend. Last but not least, Kudos to Porsche of Fresno. They trucked over some great cars, and had professional instructors available, should you need one. I believe that may have been an initiator of this track day! Is it cheap? No, but you get value for your money. Example, this past weekend's event, included in your entrance fee was a transponder if needed, lunch as well as a professionally prepared DVD by Cali Photography, the resident photographers. Purchased separately, this is about a $100 value. And as most know, event entry fees are some of the more moderate expenses compared to tires, brake pads, etc.. *** "Private" means they manage attendance to the point where the drivers all have more track time than they'll ever use. In many cases their drivers are repeat customers, so they Speed District knows their customers.They will also have "download" meetings after each session, if the drivers want them. This way, Josh, you and/or your fellow drivers can deliver constructive criticism should there be a driver that is less than courteous or accommodating. So when you have the need, the need for speed, check out Speed District. I know I will. Oh and by the way, I thought I saw some familiar faces in the cafeteria, none other than world class racer Patrick Long, and baseball legend CJ Wilson, now a huge car dealer, Porsche, Audi, McLaren, etc.. Hmmmm, so that's how those beautiful cars got to the event in that monster transporter..all I can conclude with, you should have been there if Track Days are your thing. read more

Started tracking with Josh and Speed District back in August of 2014. His events are truly the best events out of all the SoCal track event organizers. The wait time between sessions is 40 mins from the time you get off. So you don't get tired from standing under the sun for an hour and half like other organizers. You will always see cars from Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, and even McLaren at his events along with BMW, Benz, basically all makes and model attend. Everyone who attends Speed District events are either friends or family. Great group of guys to spend a day at the Track with. The FREE CD with all your track photos is something that none of the others are doing. Yes, his events are a bit more than others but he also has a cap on how many people can sign up, so you are NEVER on the track with 30+ cars at a time. On average you get about 2x the amount of track time compared to others. His instructors are always willing to answer any questions you have about how to improve and become a better and safer driver while on track. Thank you Josh and Ruben for the great events, you guys ROCK!! read more

Once you been to a Speed District event you'll never want to go to any other organizer. These guys have a very easy and organized schedule with very limited car count which gives you empty track with a lot of track time. Cannot say enough good things about how great these guys organize a track event! read more

The little higher price is worth it because you get way more track time, and more clean laps if you're trying to put down a PB. The people that go are great too, very friendly, and If you want good instruction talk to Mike J (He's with Speed District often)! Josh is professional about safety, but very chill at the same time - Good balance! You're spending enough on tires, so you may as well drive them in the best track group. read more

Hands down the absolute best track day company out there. Professional, organized, good people, and run groups run exactly on time down to the minute - can't ask for more! read more

You have to attend other events to truly appreciate Speed District. Other events jam pack their days with 100+ cars and 6+ run groups... Giving you only 4 sessions a day... I hate coming off of a session knowing it's more than an hour until I get back out there... This is why I only go to Speed District events. I will get 3 total hours of ON TRACK time. This means every 40minutes my run group is called (they only have 3 run groups that go every 20min). Not only that but there are little to no traffic concerns and everyone knows what they are doing. If you're new then you're welcome. They provide professional instructions from competent instructors. You get what you pay for. Speed District is easily worth it! read more

Although I didn't run my car; I attended the driver information training. First Rate. Josh is courteous and professional. From what I could tell and my friends remarks; this is a well run business. On 12/20, there were maybe 25 drivers. If you were not there, you missed out. The Advanced and Intermediate groups cycled quickly and without drama. The quality of drivers was very fine. (driving this track a week before Christmas is stellar, everyone stays home. After 1 pm, the track was wide open until 5 pm. Five Stars. read more

Wow! This company that runs track days is unparalleled! I usually run with PCA(Porsche Club of America) who I really like as well. However, with speed district you get way more value. You generally get twice the amount of track time or more in one day. They also included with the price you get free transponder use, and professional pictures(I got over 40 pics from multiple spots of the track) included for no extra charge. Most people dont even complete the whole day. At 230pm I had already had 2hr 54min track time and went through 29 gallons of fuel. The amount of potential track time is unreal. I was spent! still could of gone out alot more! Super cool friendly knowledgeable staff eager to share tips and talk cars. I drove 4hours from Vegas and it was well worth it. Check out speed district. you won't be disappointed. read more

Josh and his crew do a great of job of keeping the events organized, limiting the amount of drivers to keep the track day both fun and safe. As a new driver, Josh has always been great at answering any questions I have. I felt a little overwhelmed the first couple times, so I felt asking questions made me seem like a "rookie" but Josh was great. His staff really enjoys racing and cares about their participants. So, of the multiple organizations I've ran with, I really prefer track days at Speed District. Cleaner laps equals more fun and Speed District does the best job of this..hopefully in 2017 they'll have some dates at Laguna Seca. read more

There is no other track group in SoCal (or the US?) that compares to Speed District. Josh manages to put together an event that is somehow Safe, Affordable, and has minimal on track traffic ( A HUGE plus to those that do this frequently). The rules are and requirements are strict enough to keep everyone safe, but not so "big brother" (ahem, Porsche club looking at you) as to make you feel like you're constantly on the verge of being booted from the track. I have NEVER used all my time at an event. I've always run out of gusto before I ran out of allocated time. It's a great environment, family friendly with participants of all ages and vehicles of all types. Can't recommend Speed District enough! read more

If you are on the fence about getting on the track with your car, don't hesitate and sign up with Speed District. Josh and then team run a highly professional program that is focused on driver safety, fun, and creating a positive environment that is conducive to learning and becoming a better driver. I recently had an awesome track day with them at Auto club Speedway. Super positive vibe, was not crowded, and got lots of track time. Can't wait for the next event! read more

Speed District events are absolutely phenomenal; very well organized, more track time and less traffic. Josh is great at coordinating the events in a timely manner. Timing and photography are usually part of the package. Either if your a beginner or a pro, Speed District can accommodate your needs. All in all, Speed District runs a very smooth and professional event, every time. read more

I was at Willow Springs last Saturday with Speed District and i had so much fun ,lots of track time and everybody is friendly and well organized Thanks Josh read more

Josh and his team do an incredible job of keeping everyone safe and having fun. Highly recommend for first-timers and experienced drivers!

If you want seat time. Do this event. If you want a friendly laid back environment. Do this event. If you wanna nap towards high noon after filling up on lunch with all the chill. Do this event. Speed District was organized by a guy just like you and me, for people like you and me. Just average guys who want track time without all the restrictions or rigamarole from higher profile event hosts. Come in with an easy Self inspection ( honestly the SCCA has harsher tech inspections) and bring your helmet and water and just smash! for Just over 200 bucks I got 30 laps in at Buttonwillow. Thats less than 7 bucks a lap, and the run groups are nice and open! On my mothers grave you'd be hard pressed to find a track day with more seat time. And because the atmosphere is so relax people intermix and mingle. We even got ride alongs in hyper exotic cars like a GT305R and a 570S, there was even a brand new Type R out Lapping with us. read more

I've participated with several other track groups and I must say Speed District is the most organized. Sure you pay more money compared to the other track groups but you get your money's worth because there isn't 100 people out on the track (I'm looking at you Extreme Speed). The only reason I'm giving this review four stars is because I had a family emergency and I had to leave one of the track events after the first session. I asked if I could get some form of credit or discount towards another track event but was denied. I understand their refund policy, but it sucks nothing was done to satisfy a customer. Sure I will continue to come back, but $240 gone to waste unfortunately. read more

Josh and the Speed District guys run the best track days I have ever attended. Fun, safe, great camaraderie on the track - and great fun. Highly recommended. read more

Josh is a great guy ! Works hard to make the event successful and has a great team backing him up. I will definitely be attending another event soon. The track was awesome and set up to go fast, looking forward for the next run! read more

I have been tracking twice a month now for a few years - most of them were on week ends it was fine but during the week is much better for me to avoid crowed events - Speed district is just right - they only allow so many people ! And the quality of drivers is mid High range. I have such a great time, all the times set up for each group stays on time. Every one is nice - Josh seems to be a great host takes time to talk with ya if needed or not all around good vibes ( I have not signed up for any other clubs since I found speed district ! ) read more

This is an awesome crew and they are so much fun to drive with. Really well organized and professional company as well.

I simply love Speed District. They are relaxed, cheap, easy going, NOT crowded, 3h+ of track time and FREE pictures. Can't beat that!

Great track experience. Laid back but focused on safety. Will be running with them as much as I can. Small run groups mean not having to wait for passing. read more

Speed District is one of the top organizers for track days. Josh is on top of things, professional, and looks out for your safety always. I get more track time with them, and the drivers have good track awareness. I don't any of their ACR events! read more

I had a blast at Buttonwillow for 2 days. Josh and his team are easygoing but obviously passionate about driving and drivers. I got almost 6 hours on the track across 2 days and learned a lot. Some ride-alongs with Mike and Kalen were especially helpful. The included photos and transponder rental are nice perks. Most of the other drivers were friendly and courteous; it's great to be able to hang out and talk with some experts between sessions. read more

The event put on by Speed District is literally the best tracking events I've ever been too. Josh really knows how to make it an enjoyable experience for each and every attendee. Very organized, safe, fun and always a great crowd of other enthusiasts. The quality of events produced by Speed District is unparalleled and worth every $ read more

Josh and Speed District put on the best track events. Plenty of track time and great people to hang out with.

Josh and The Speed District team are fantastic. Their events are safe, great fun and a huge value (photos and transponders included). You will also meet other car enthusiasts. Run groups are rarely crowded. read more
