Ride along in a 6-speed Hellcat (a 4500lb street car), as it runs on the "Big Willow" track at Willow Springs.
All of my in-car videos are best viewed on the larger screen of a desktop, laptop, or tablet. A cell phone screen will not show the detail of the speedometer, the G-force screen, or the inset alternate camera views.
About the day:
This was filmed at Spring Fling Speed Festival on a threatening Spring day in May 2025. The event is promoted by AllTime Racing (www.alltimeracing.com), and is a Track Day, and NOT a race. Passing is only supposed to occur in three select areas of the track. For various reasons, not all cars seen are being driven full-out at any given point in time. These events are pleasantly laid-back, and a load of fun.
About this session:
This is my fourth and final session of the day. Some interesting timestamps:
00:17 - witness the awesome traction of my worn-out track tires, as I enter the track
2:55 - rushed yellow flag as the wayward Miata re-enters the track in front of me
9:50 - discussion about why we are lined up, waiting for the flagger to do some housekeeping
14:10 - some sporty passing
20:35 - large raindrops hit my windshield as I approach turn 8 at 125mph
Pay no attention to the cellphone juggling seen here. This is a professional driver [as far as YOU know] on a closed course. Do not attempt.
