Watch out for turn 9. Crazy fast. And if you loose it, you'll be introduced to the pit wall at somewhere above 120mph with only leather on pavement to slow you down.
I prefer the Spring Mountain Motorsports park in Pahrump, NV. More run off room and not quite as 'fast' of a track. Of course, it also only has about 5' of elevation change! the Big Track @ Willow kicks it's but for speed and elevation.

great day
Had a great day @ the track on saturday weather was perfect for willow...no wind low 70's ...bike ran perfect...had new tires pilot powers & ebc hh pads and lines.
Bike handled really nice even with the stock suspension?...(i'm a light weight 165lbs). even saw another superhawk out there yellow bike.
I stayed in the B group all day (trackdaz runs 3 groups A being for racers,B for inter and C for beginers)...I was one of the faster guys in my group so got to overtake lots of people...lots of fun on a so called underdog bike.
Although I do usally run in the race group on most trackdays....But seeing as I rode to the track and wanted to ride home..also trackdaz has a lot of wsmc racers I did not want to get in anyones way.
I can't state how impressed I was with my superhawk (2005 model)..was so easy to ride....did not do anything wrong all day makes nice power very user friendly....brakes where ok.....can't wait to install the fork springs...and buy a rear shock in the new year.
