Default Big Willow Hot Laps 2016 GT3RS

Well back in one piece from one of the scariest tracks I know Big Willow!

Last year I came to Big Willow and ran a 1:34 so was curious how I would do this year.

These are my 2 fastest laps of the weekend, hope you enjoy!

Looks great! Have you ever watched any of Jack Olsen's videos? He has a deep love for that track.

That track looks like a ton of high speed fun. Banking and Camber look sweet in a few of those sweepers/corners as well.

Nice driving. Is Big Willow the same track as Willow Springs? Thanks..

Yes he is a legend at that track and he even noticed my video on FB and commented "Nice Driving!" which made my year!

Like the use of the AiM SDL/SmartyCam AND the Apex Pro... 28.86 is honking!

you would be surprised at how there really is not any good run off..... Tons of ditches and mounds to break your car if you leave the pavement.

You would think after all these years the track owner would have smoothed out the run off areas. It would be great for both cars and bikes......
