On the third day of a five-day run of free practice sessions for licensed racers at Willow Springs International Raceway, 20 WSMC motorcycle racers are sharing the track (in alternating sessions) with three open-wheeled car racers and a handful of shifter-kart racers.

The first day of the program, December 26, attracted 12 riders, with 19 showing up on December 27 and 20 today, December 28.

The program continues through Sunday, December 30 and runs from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Ambulance and cornerworker crews are on site for the practice sessions at the Rosamond, California racetrack.

Track owner Bill Huth is holding the free sessions as a thank-you to racers licensed with WSMC or the track’s open-wheeled car racing club.
