It's almost hard to believe Willow Springs International Motorsports Park is located just 90 miles from the heart of Los Angeles. The proximity makes it easy to trade the glitz and glamour of city life for dust and the adrenaline rush of the raceway.

Riders were already speeding around Walt James Stadium when I arrived for Brady Walker's Classic Flat Track Day. Heats rolled out every 15 minutes for different classes. The inclusive event was open to everyone from true beginners to experts to vintage.
