Directions to Streets of Willow
Streets of Willow is the second-largest track on Willow Springs International Raceway's (WSIR) sprawling hillside facility.
WSIR is located in the Rosamond in Southern California's picturesque Mojave Desert. From Los Angeles, hop on I-5 North to CA-14 North, and then take the exit at Rosamond Blvd. Head West, and you'll have ample gas station and food options on the way to the track. Once you're headed down the road, you'll see a big sign on the right telling you you've arrived at Willow Springs International Raceway—don't turn too soon, wait until you reach the big sign.
Proceed to the gate to check-in with the track, and please have cash handy for its gate fee of $20. From there, go straight, turn right, and head down the road that runs along the green wall. When you reach the stop sign, turn left, and continue driving until you reach the Streets of Willow track—please be sure to observe the posted speed limit the entire way. The paddock is a large expansive area, find an open spot and prepare for a fun day of ripping laps!

Lodging and Food near Streets of Willow
The diner at WSIR's big track has a lot of excellent burger and sandwich options, with a full stock of soda, energy drinks, water, and coffee. Conveniently, it sits along the front straight. Please note: It's not always open, especially if there isn't an event running on the big track. Luckily, there are ample food options in town as well.
Rosamond
This quaint high desert town has a lot of charm. When it comes to food, there are several grocery stores, a Starbucks, multiple gas stations, and a handful fast food chains. There are also plenty of reasonably priced sit-down establishments, including Roberto's, Tacos el Llano, Guido's at the Hangar, Patty's Cafe, and Tom's Famous Burgers 28. There may or may not be enough time to enjoy these mom-and-pop spots in between track sessions, but they're great to check out if you're looking for dinner on the way out of town or staying the night.
Lodging-wise, the Devonshire Inn Motel is on the East side of CA-14, as is the Rosamond Palms Hotel.
Lancaster
Lancaster is about 25 minutes South of the track and your best bet if you're looking for more hotel options. Pretty much every chain has a location, and we've enjoyed staying at the Hampton Inn and Suites, as well as the TownePlace Suites and Homewood Suites.
The greater Lancaster area has food options of every variety; fast food, a nice steak, pizza, Korean BBQ, vegan, sushi—there's something for everyone.
