    For value and seat time, I give them 5 stars. However, if you're a beginner or new to track days,…read moreI'd get an instructor or bring a friend who has some track day experience. Don't expect NASA or SCCA level organization here. It's a legit group run by fellow enthusiasts with other day jobs. If you have some experience already and don't want to spend $500 on a NASA HPDE, this is a great option.

    ----- Concise Review…read more WHAT A BLAST!!!! SO AWESOME! GREAT FAMILY DAY!!! Five Stars are not enough! On a scale of 1 to 10, a 12 (yes one more than eleven)! Helpful in planning the race day. Great teachers, to help us learn how to race. Great hosts. Provided great food. Taught us more than we expected, and we hoped for a lot. Extreme Speed Sports Car Racing School THANK YOU EXTREME SPEED TRACK EVENTS!!! ----- Longer Review Our son is quite the car enthusiast. We visited Southern California - Palm Desert, Yucaipa, and Malibu - for Spring Break 2021. 00 - FINDING EXTREME SPEED TRACK EVENTS; INTRODUCTIONS We like Jay Leno's Garage (TV show) and knew of Willow Springs race track from his show... and we thought maybe we could race there. It out that Willow Springs is located north of LA, in the Mojave Desert, near Edwards Air Force Base. I explored Willow Springs' website and they have a list of groups who regularly race there, and who teach others to race there. I picked Extreme Speed Track Events and called and talked with Joel, who is very helpful. I explained that we just wanted to learn how to race, to safely go around the track and have a good time, and to maybe learn some "enhanced" driving skills. Joel assured me that is what they do, and we wholeheartedly agree... Extreme Speed Track Events can and will teach you how to race cars... on one of the most amazing tracks - Willow Springs International Raceway! More information about the amazing time we had: 01 - ARRIVAL We visited the office in the main building and the lady there pointed us to The Streets at Willow Springs. While we could see all the tracks from where we were we spent the first little bit in the building. They got us situated and got us breakfast - bacon and eggs and waffles... and flavored Starbucks in-a-bottle. 02 - PRE-DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS They gave us come classroom instruction in the building, about driving and tire tilt and camber... about how to read the track to determine how to set up one turn for the next turn. 03 - TO THE CARS We followed them for five laps, as they showed us how/where to position our cars on the course. 04 - THE CARS Our son and I each drove a stick-shift / manual transmission Toyota Celica... his black, mine white... that had been in the Long Beach celebrity Grand Prix... stock / factory cars with roll cage, lots of weight removed, and racing seats... and mufflers, etc. modified a bit, so they made a great rumbling noise. Our daughter drove a red automatic Toyota Solara, also stock with a roll cage. 05 - THE STREETS AT WILLOW The Streets at Willow has elevation changes and many curves. It's a thrill to drive. Given our novice status as drivers, our peak speeds were 85-90 mph, which was fast enough. Our track times were ~ 2 minutes. 06 - SKILLS SESSIONS After the first laps, then we had a combination of driving in circles, and high-speed braking. The circles were ~ 80 feet around... and by driving faster, and turning the wheel more we saw how that didn't help - turning the wheel more did not make us turn any more tightly... to get more traction you slowed down, steered back a little and then had more grip, better control. The fast braking helped us time going faster into turns, slowing, then powering out of the corners. 07 - DONUTS! Our son and daughter each got turns in the Miatas, making donuts and spinning out. Our son did some drifting on the skid pad, too! 08 - SCOOTERS As we were using the track one-at-a-time, they also had Honda scooters... which we rode to the other tracks... 09 - A RIDE WITH THE TRACK RECORD HOLDER I got to ride with Mark in his Miata, which helped learn what they were teaching us about slowing down and powering through the turn... 10 - AND THEN IT WAS JUST US In the morning, a father and son shared The Streets with us... when we were off-track learning, they were on-track, racing. We drove counter-clockwise and they went clockwise... they were tuning their racing Porsche for an upcoming race, and the 17-year old son was fast! They left around lunch time. Big Willow had several drivers on it in the morning, some Corvettes, Toyotas, Ferraris, etc. They also left around lunch time. 11 - HORSE THIEF MILE & BIG WILLOW After another round of laps on The Streets of Willow, Rob and Mark led us around several laps on Horse Thief Mile and Big Willow... in between we went to the skid pad and our son had an awesome donut/burnout... he was really having fun making smoke and was showing off what he learned this day! As we drove south through Antelope Valley, the sunset... to the right... a fitting end to a day that started with the sun rising to the east, to the left. What a day! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU JOEL, ROB, MARK, DIANE AND JOEL'S GIRLFRIEND / EXTREME SPEED TRACK EVENTS!!! ----- ----- -----

    Back around 2003/04 I got back into street riding primarily to commute. I was lent a copy of Reg…read morePridmore's book, "Smooth Riding the Pridmore Way", and it resonated with me. This past Sunday, I was finally able to attend his CLASS motorcycle training at Willow Spring's Streets of Willow track. Between the time I first read his book, till this day, I've realized that motorcycles ARE my passion. I bought my first motorcycle when I was 15 and in no time I was racing motocross with it. Fast forward to today, and I'm working toward my goal of racing my '97 Honda VFR in the AHRMA's series, and this class is one step in that direction. No matter if you are just an enthusiastic street rider, or a trackday junkie, this class can teach you some finer points to riding a motorcycle smoothly and quickly. I wish I could give CLASS 10 stars!

    This is best place to improve your riding skills. A great staff that is helpful and enthusiastic in…read morehelping you become a better, safer, smoother and smarter rider. Lots of riding time that also includes classroom time to learn and apply practical and safe techniques for riding. Riders are grouped into an A and B group depending on your riding level. Instructors follow the riders and offer comments on your riding during a break. There are plenty of instructors that help each and every rider. Safety is of extreme importance and you are warned that if your are unsafe among other riders, you will be asked to leave. Reg and Gigi are the best in accommodating each and every rider.

The staff is so communicative, the instructions are clear, and they even provide all the materials for the initial foster period. Moreover, the mission of this organization is so amazing and we are honored to partake in their vision.

    Writing this in honor of my late soul dog, Harper. I adopted Harper almost 14 years ago from Dogs…read moreWithout Borders. DWB are heavily active in social media and I followed them on Facebook. I saw Harper and went to one of the adoption fairs. I first signed up as a foster. Fostering was free and I had two week periods to foster and help dogs socialize at home peacefully before being adopted. Food was provided and one of the responsibility is dropping them off at the adoption fairs. As you can assume, I went back to the adoption fairs only to start the adoption process. The organization truly cares about their dogs, making sure they get the best medical treatment and are placed in the right homes. There is no pressure in adopting the dogs so if you are only capable of committing a short amount of time, they express nothing but gratitude. They finalize the adoption by doing a home inspection, making sure the home and family are suitable for their rescues. My parents have also adopted a dog a few weeks later and the whole experience was organized, comfortable and smooth. I highly recommend fostering, donating to DWB and/or volunteering in this organization. Their staff and network of volunteers are truly angels .
