Default Fast Lap with Billy Johnson - WSIR track notes




Fast Lap With Billy Johnson - WSIR (In Car Video Inside!)
Turn by turn track notes

By Billy Johnson


http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticl...l-Raceway.aspx

Willow Springs International Raceway (WSIR), the “Fastest Road in the West” is the oldest purpose-built road course in North America and has remained virtually unchanged since its creation in 1953. The 2.5mile nine-turn track earned its nickname from its medium to high-speed corners including the infamous Turns 8 and 9. While not the most technical track out there, “Big Willow” puts the mechanical and aero grip of a car to the test while high horsepower cars can see over 160mph. Because of this, the average speed of a car is faster here than almost any other track in the country. The words “ballsy” are often thrown around when talking about WSIR


Enjoy!

Not from WSIR (from Carolina Motorsports Park) but it still works:
