Arrow Photos: Another Track Day in SoCal (Streets of Willow)

Here are just a few pics from my second visit ever to the Streets of Willow Springs (last Friday).

The track organizer I rode with gives every rider a lap timer (mainly for safety to keep tabs on which riders should be in which groups regardless of which level you sign up for).

One of my buddies in the photos told me to sign up for Level 3 (expert/advance/whatever) and I was hesitant to do so, but did it anyway since he was riding Level 3 and we run a similar pace in the canyons. And I am glad I did, because the lap timers proved him right, I was running Expert level times


Turn 3 (repaved since last time I was there in Feb)




I like this one because of where my knee is in relation to the rumble strip. I remember some dudes signature (I think from tampasportbikes) said something about "letting it all hang out over the rumble strip" or something?
This was in the bowl turn with the 20 degree banking. Somebody wrecked there and spilled oil on over half of the road (the top half) and the best line that worked for me avoiding it was to stay on the lower half of the road and drag knee WAY far... all the way through the bowl until the banking seemed to level out. It felt like I was dragging knee forever (long enough to need a gear change in the middle of it).





I like this one since the photographer got me and a couple buddies in the same shot The guy on the red bike was the one that told me to sign up for Level 3. The guy in the white bike is going with our group to MotoGP at Lagun Seca in three weeks.




And finally where I spent HALF of my session(s) due to the 109 degree heat, the Hot Pit!!
