Encyclopedia > Willow Springs Raceway

The Willow Springs Raceway is located near Rosamond and Lanchaster California and is about an hour north of Los Angeles. It is a historic track that has been in existence for over fifty years. The first race held there was in 1953. The main track is a challenging 2.5 mile long road course that is unchanged from it's original 1953 configuration. The interesting elevation changes and high average speeds makes it a favorite of many road racing drivers. Willow Springs International Raceway Park also features other racing facilities such as The Streets of Willow (1.8 mile road course), Willow Springs Speedway (1/4 mile paved oval), Willow Springs Kart Track (a .625-mile, 9-turn paved sprint track), The Playpen (a 1/4-mile paved training track), and the Walt James Stadium (Clay Oval and Paved Oval).


Loyal fans of the track have succeeded in getting the state of California to recognize Willow Springs International Raceway as an Official California Point of Historical Interest.
