Willow is a lot more technical than Fontana which makes it more fun.

I have a guess what you're doing, so it would be interesting to see your car at the track.

But if you guys want technical, might as well do buttonwillow.

There isn't a road course in Fontana, not like this anyways.
There sure as hell is.. Fontana's got 3 road race configurations that I know of, and there could be more. Anywhere from 1:30-50 to over 2-minute laps. Heck, I forgot the course in the parking lot.
I've raced a bike at Fontana several times. I've even raced a Super Moto in the parking lot. I like Fontana. Maybe 'cuz it's a smooth track, or maybe because you get haulin ass down the banking, through a chicane and then through a left-hand sweeper, that you can spin up all the way through. Fug, there's a cool double-apex going into the back, and kind of a quick right/left that you can cut, and wheelie over the dip on a bike. I guess I like the entire layout
Fontana is a lot more expensive than either track at Willow, however, and the Streets is a good track with a lot of technical turns and lower average speeds. Good track to get introduced to track-days/racing on.
All you need to do is check the local track day guys, and you'll find a date at any local track you want(Willow-big track and Streets, Buttonwillow, and Fontana).
