I'm hoping that I'll be able to make this one... But in the event that I can't?, I'll be donating some of my new VMB 'Zombie' shirts to 1st, 2nd & 3rd finishers of the amatuer & intermediate 2-stroke classes.

Too cool! Thanks Norm for all your support from Venice Motor Bikes.

Only 11 days to go to our very first time racing on an oval at night.

Fantastic for the spectators with really up close in your face action
under the lights. Going to be intense and a lot of fun.

Going to be a blast! Who knows when we will get to do this again?
It's been over 2 years since we have had a race at Willow Springs.

Lots of track time for everyone who wants to try out this new racing
experience.

Aerial view of the 1/4 mile paved oval Speedway at Willow Springs.

Large grandstands and announcers building on the top straight of the oval.

Smaller seating stands in the pits and parking where you can also camp
over on Saturday night.

Lots of lights so the track lights up like daylight. I paid the guy who is renting the
huge generator today so we just need at least 20 to 25 gallons of diesel to run it.

The access road is on the lower left of the pic.

That's a natural rock formation sticking up out of the middle of the parking lot!

SoCal Motor Bicycle Racing is going to have a minibike race class for
the first time at this oval paved night race.

The track is perfect for minibikes and although they don't have pedals
they use the same motors and jack shafted clutch set ups as we do
so we have a lot in common.

Willow Springs International Raceway has a ton of stuff to see and do by cruising around the miles of access roads between the 7 race tracks as well as having all the comforts of an air conditioned restaurant with cold beverages on site!

Cool video from our first race at Willow in June 2011.

Jake, I know you meant to say Saturday instead of Friday like we usually do.

It's a Saturday night race from 2 pm to 11 pm with the main race action after
8 pm under the lights.
The EMT from www.MedicsontheBall.com will be there from 2 pm to 11 pm.

I will be arriving at Willow Springs at noon and camping over Saturday night
and hanging out on Sunday checking out M1GP racing on The Streets of Willow right behind the 2 oval tracks. Lots of other stuff on Sunday too.

The cool thing about about night racing is that it gets cooler as the day goes
on unlike our usual Saturday races.

The weather is looking great for July 27th

11am 88*

2pm 95*

5pm 90*

8pm 84*

11pm 79*

Only 5 days to go so just call in sick?

With only a 1/4 mile track we will have time for a lot of races and practice.

I was even trying to track down some Goped racers that used to have
events at Grange but they are hard to get a hold of.........

Re: July 27th 2013 NIGHT RACE Willow Springs Speedway 1/4 mile Paved Oval BOARD TRACK

Here is a must see video of some oval track racing.

http://youtu.be/nWFiTlFkxPw

It's not motorized bikes, it is minibikes racing on the Encino Velodrome
back in 2009.

looks like a lot of fun to me and racing at night will be more intense.

The velodrome is 250 metres which is 0.155 miles = 273 yards
The Willow Springs paved oval is 0.250 miles = 440 yards

Sorry, but we can't race at the Encino Velodrome as they don't allow
any motorized vehicles on it now, only bicycles.
