I will probably go to Pahrump if I can get out of the excercises, but I can't spare 2 weekdays for buttonwillow
Pahrump is about a 6-7 hour drive. and is probably going to cost you two 1/2 work days. I will take both Friday and Monday off for it, and am planning on Mon-Wed. for Buttonwillow.

How long a drive was Buttonwillow? 395 most of the way?

Note on brakes. Flush before you go, and be prepared to do bleed/flush at the end of the first day before you leave the track. You won't have time the morning of the second day. You may not need to, but it is better than missing track time.

Getting comfortable going fast in the wet is very difficult, even on good wet tires. Smooth/slow hands, and feet become paramount, and things you got away with in the dry don't play no more..
