Stories From The Road

 

I did a motorcycle track day there in 1994. The big sweeper (turn 8 into turn 9) is scarry fast!

 

Yeah, I also did a "California Superbike School" day there in the early 90's.
Lotts fun, though I had a hard time with turn #3. Uphill and to the left.

Then years later, I helped/crewed a local bike racer (A Production, 1000cc Yamaha) for almost two years.
Again (mostly !) a lot of fun.

Hope it's bought and continues to keep the doors open.

Another bit of racing history at risk?? All of you that are WRA or FAST members or any other club that uses any of the tracks on this complex REALLY NEED to keep an eye on this & spread the word to your members ASAP!!!

 

Someone over on Ford Barn just
suggested letting Jay Leno know.

That is an excellent idea !

My first SCCA drivers school was at Willow, in Nov of '73. I raced there many times after that in my pictured Formula Atlantic, avatar car.

I got know and raced with Danny Ongias, starting that Nov day. It was his second drivers school.

 

Add Adam Corolla to that...

 

Yes, I would love to see WS saved!!!!

 

He lives nearby, I'm sure he's aware. People are quick to spend millionaires money.

Emelia Hartford, a YouTuber, racer, now actress, etc., submitted a bid with investors to try to purchase the track and keep it as a thriving motorsports track.
