For those who know about it, are you still going to get it with the price inflation? It increased 150%.

[roboticnissan]

Me and a couple friends still considering getting it. Just so we can go pretty often during the year since our schedules all seem to line up pretty well

It be $50 for the year pass then $100 for all day at the track. There's a lot more restrictions though.

[Marcus]

this is back to what it used to be. It used to be 75 for membership and 100 for the day also. It was only 2010 that was cheap. fyi

[chucky norris]

someone told me it was $140 for the balcony

plus 10 bucks every time you go to cover the entrance fee

[Marcus]

whoever told you that is wrong. ive been going for the last 3 years.

[nieko]

yeah 2009 it was 75 for membership and 100 for balcony.
2010 they lowered it. 50 for membership 40 dollars for tracks.(DIRT CHEAP)

i tink everyone started jumping on it 2010 because of how cheap, so now they are raising it back up a bit.

I would still probably buy it.

[nieko]

and there are no "New restrictions"

those restrictions were always there....

no tandem
no passengers
no on track cameras

^^^ thats what you are talking about right? lol

[vvtisupra]

I think it was due to the people who were abusing the privelages. IE multi car tandem, trading off drivers, being unsafe.


Thanks Assholes

Love,
Steve C.

[nieko]

Yup, last time I went up fire rescue was actually chillenup there with us the wholeeee time lol

[iamtheyi]

^ I don't remember wtf I was talking about anymore lol. Way too tired when I posted that. Yeah, we gonna get on it. For what it is, it's a great deal.

So are they really angry at the drifters? lol.

No theyre not angry at drifters. They are angry at drifter that are stupid, abusive, doesnt follow the rules, unsafe and has no respect of the tracks, their property and rules.

Wsir can just say no to drifting and still be profitable. The risk and liability for the 40 bux per driver, that if the drivers don't pass around the wrist band, if they do... it's like 10 bux per person. Last years fee isn't worth the headache they got in return.

Were lucky to have a track still... Don't abuse it.

[DJPimpFlex]

So for us from Norcal, how does the membership work? Like any day they arn't using balcony you can run for $100~ or something? Only balcony?

[fckillerbee]

yes. you pay for a yearly membership. and then you pay a "track fee" of 100 for balcony.

i dont pay for this membership at all i know the owner. WSIR isnt doing as good as you think. they need the money. which is why the entrance fee is gonna go up to 25 per person soon.

wow the entrance fee? from $10 to $25? o_O' that might discourage spectators from going to watch. ><' i personally wouldn't want to go just to watch if that were the case.

does the owner know you?




just sayin...

[RMJmotor]

Membership fee and track fee is still a good deal under the updated pricing. I stand by Charlie on this one, RESPECT THE TRACK.

The 25.00 entrance fee is pretty high, even if you are signed up for a track day you still have to pay at the gate (currently 10.00) so 25.00 would be a big kick in the butt.

i would just wait for the offical release of the rules, fees etc etc. i'm sure the changes will be communicated to the drivers and organizers.

[roboticnissan]

Why would anyone let me for free if he didn't know me haha.
I've been racing there for as long as I could reach pedals on go parts.

that's awesome....thanks for posting this in this thread as you clearly are affected by this.

usually people don't brag to other people about "getting in for free" unless you are trying to be a dick.

that's the way i see it.

Good story...

[Slidin' Sam]

Ok, so I'm a noob to Willow Springs...I live in Japan, but I am moving to SoCal next month.

So for 75 bucks, you can get into the track without paying any additional fee's, for the entire year?

Then, you can pay an additional $100 any day there is not an event on "Balcony" and test (for drift)? Only catch is no passengers, no tandem (even if both car's are caged, etc), and no media?

I ran a quick search on their (Willow) website, but couldn't come up with what exactly I was looking for.

Thanks!

You are correct on rules. It's $50 dollars per pass and $100 every day you run. Don't know anything about media. Someone else will probably answer that.

$25 dollar entrance fee sucks... really really badly. Now I don't have a pit crew(friends :/) to come to fix my car if something breaks.

[Touge_Monster]

I will still probably be getting one. You get way more track time at a test day compared to an event.

If the 25$ thing is true that will def cut back on how much I go there. Its already a struggle to go as it is for me

Yeah man. I feel you. Drifting poor sucks lol but I love it.

Does anyone know the minimum helmet requirements for WSIR? Been searching haven't seen anything. They closed right now but I'll give them a call tomorrow morning and see if no one replies.
