    I’m signed up, anyone else going?

    It’s a great time, lots of nice people and a great lunch. It’s the cheapest track day you will find at $210.

    Willow Springs Raceway has several tracks at the facility. One of them is Big Willow and is 2.5 miles long, with twistys, elevation changes and a 100 mph sweeper ( turn 8 ) that is sure to pucker you up.

    Being a rookie driver I like that there are no walls to hit if you make a mistake and spin off the track. The only wall is on the main straightaway in front of the pits and garages. You’d have to try to hit that wall.

    Not wanting to damage my 430, I bought a track car to play with. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Yes I’ve heard that. 103mph is my fastest in turn 8, but damn I got scared.
    I need to re-setup the chassis and get some stickier tires before I try to go any faster.

    I got a ride in a guys Radical, not sure of his speed in Turn 8 but it was way faster than me. Jesus I was trying to hang on in the passenger seat.
