Default I made a teaching video for Willow Springs

I know there are more East-Coast guys on this forum than West. But I edited together some footage from my last track day at Willow Springs into a kind of guide.

This is the beta version, no doubt. I do not have impressive video-making skills, and my voiceover sounds kind of ridiculous. But I had some slow footage and some fast footage from my last trip to Willow.

I'd be interested in input on how to make it better.

Oh, and you might want to have a seat -- it's almost 20 minutes long.

It's better in HD, if you click on the YouTube logo, you'll get that as an option.

Would love a video like this for my local tracks - WGI, LRP, NHMS etc. Anyone?

Thanks, guys. I'm thinking about adding some animation-type movement to the diagrams.

Jack, excellent work and narrative! Given all the tracks you frequent in so. Cal., i see a video series in your future. Certainly a blockbuster!


Thanks!

wow, excellent video Jack!

I love Willow, it's stupid fast , yet there's still a lot of quirks and nuances to learn.

somehow I always feel like I'm not hitting Omega quite right, I'll try some of your tips especially entering 4.
