This past weekend was the annual car enthusiast event known as Mazfest, an all day Mazda (only) gathering at Willow Springs Raceway in Lancaster. Track events are always exciting as I never know what to expect (although I kinda do), and it's always a blast to see people actually track their cars rather than drop loads of money on performance parts only to see nothing but side street......troll......anyways....the drive was pretty long but cool as I got to see the somewhat scenic? route of the Desert(s) of socal.
Having never actually been to Willow Springs race way, I was actually surprised to see how simple the overall layout of the compound was and the amount of tracks that Willow actually has, although only one track was used for the event.
There was a ride along part of the show which consisted of you riding shotgun with a pro driver and sponsor's car(s) or the one rx8 drift car; pretty cool, it was just too bad I didn't get the chance to try it out.
Since I was near the track (like on the track), I figured I'd give photo-sequencing a try; it's not perfect and of course I'm gonna keep trying/practicing but I think it came out alright.
There was a car show at the event however most of the cars that were in attendance and racing, were also part of the car show....which didn't bother me at all. There's a time and place for show cars, but honestly at an event such as this, I have no problem showing off enthusiast's cars. The over all car show did have a raffle with a lot of amazing prizes (one of them a set of Hankook tires)...yet, I managed to miss the raffle entirely..total brain fart on my part.
Overall a great experience and I can't wait to do more track events such as these. A special thanks to my friend Anthony Hall for tagging along, and Extreme Speed Track events for having us at the event.
