ROSAMOND, Calif. (Sept. 19, 2025) – Willow Springs International Raceway recently took the wraps off extensive renovations to two of its most popular tracks, marking the first chapter in a new era for the historic Southern California facility.
The 1.8-mile Streets of Willow Springs road course and .625-mile kart track have both undergone significant investment and modernization to improve safety and upgrade the overall on-track experience. The unveil revealed jaw-dropping upgrades to both circuits, including repaved tracks and extensive painting in the raceway’s new green and off-white color scheme.
Streets of Willow Springs and the kart track have both been upgraded with:
- New asphalt to replace the old and cracked track surfaces
- New internal and external curbs
- Grading and added gravel along the track perimeter
- New runoff around the circuit
- Branded striping and logos in the runoff areas, curbs and track perimeter
In addition to these improvements, three new chicanes were added to the Streets of Willow Springs layout for track extension and safety. With its continued focus on safety, Willow Springs will also add tire barriers, Armco and air fence to the circuits, with work expected to be completed during the fall.
“We are excited to preserve the history of Willow Springs while continuing to make improvements that establish it as the premier venue for motorsport enthusiasts of all kinds,” said Sam Byrne, co-founder of CrossHarbor Capital Partners and representative of the Willow Springs ownership group. “This is just the first phase of our plans for this iconic facility, and we’re excited to show off the work we’ve completed so far at the Willow Springs Reimagined event on October 11.”
