If you have ever wanted to know how fast your van or RV is in the quarter miles, this is the place for you. There are seven race tracks at Willow Springs, with the largest being the Big Willow at 2.5 miles long.
A few driving schools operate out of Willow Springs that will teach you how to drive. These make for a fun day of racing but can be pricey. You can also sit back and relax and watch the amateurs race around the track. Willow Springs is a good place to check out while you are driving down Route 14.
