April 22-24, 2016 marked the 21st running of the annual Corsa Motoclassica, a 3-day event held at the “Fastest Road in the West,” a.k.a. Willow Springs International Raceway. The popular West Coast event was launched in 1995 by Yoshi Kosaka of the Garage Company (Inglewood, CA), and the unique 3-day race/bike show/swapmeet draws an international crowd.
The event focuses around AHRMA-sanctioned vintage races that go toward national championships, in this case a double whammy thanks to the two days and a total of 24 races in various classes. Factor in the AHRMA races held a week later at nearby Sonoma Raceway, and it adds up to a major week of important events for competitors seeking to bolster their standings. As a result, the Corsa attracted race teams and spectators from Australia, New Zealand, England, Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Thailand as well as across the U.S., and all were greeted by both mild temperatures and mild breezes.
Special attractions included several “First Ever” bikes both on the track and displayed in the Bike Show, not to mention treasure hunting in the swap meet area.
While there were literally hundreds of cool bikes/cool people to choose from, here’s a taste of a special event attended by true enthusiasts of all ages enjoying the full spectrum of exceptional bikes. Big thanks to Yoshi for making it all happen for all these years. He tells us next year’s event may include the addition of Willow Springs’ other race venues for competition, including the dirt track and mountain course, no doubt attracting even more competitors ready to enjoy some of the country’s best vintage racing.

After bringing his ’37 Indian all the way from Port Orange, FL, Ralph Wessell set his sights on beating a particular Norton Manx in the Pre-1940 Grand Prix race.

Tokyo-based Animal Boat Custom Cycles, founded in 1995, specializes in vintage restorations and customization. Like they say, build the Corsa and they will come, even from about 7,900 miles away. Rider Daisuke Mukasa did just that.

Ferocious sounding 1965 MV Agusta 350 Triple, the first of its kind, was brought by Virgil Elings, mega race bike fan and collector. The MV factory built the bike to beat Honda in the 350 class, later increasing displacement to 420cc, 470cc and 500cc, notching up more championships than any other design. At Corsa, the MV was ridden by Virgil’s son Jeff who also took two Firsts on a ’72 Yamaha in the Formula 250 race, another First in Classic Sixties aboard a 1965 Matchless, yet another First in Formula 500 riding a ’68 Penton.

These 1000cc Formula Class Kawi racers were built by Moriwaki in Japan. Riders included Australian Wayne Gardner who campaigned so successfully on it that Honda hired him. Vintage superbike racing is by far the fastest of the Corsa weekend and a real crowd-pleaser.

The first win for Frank’s creation was Sept. 8, 1963, and at Willow Springs. Frank would finish 3rd in the AFM 350 Championship.

George Beavers’ 1981 Suzuki GS1100E was engineered by Ed Milich with motor work by Carry Andrew, then topped off by Rick Carmody’s paint, so this was no longer a stock snoozy Suzi.

Sidecar was piloted by Steady Betty while hanging it all out was “monkey” Red Fury. Go girls! You don’t find much sidecar racing in the U.S. as compared to other countries, so it was fun seeing them glide over the course a bit like wingless airplanes. A special race commemorated Doug “Mr. Sidecar” Bingham, a leading light in the sport who recently passed away.

The iconic 1958 Cushman scooter exited the factory with an air-cooled single-cylinder engine pumping 8 horsepower through two gears, good for maybe 50 mph.

April 22-24, 2016 marked the 21st running of the annual Corsa Motoclassica, a 3-day event held at the “Fastest Road in the West,” a.k.a. Willow Springs International Raceway. The popular West Coast event was launched in 1995 by Yoshi Kosaka of the Garage Company (Inglewood, CA), and the unique 3-day race/bike show/swapmeet draws an international crowd.
The event focuses around AHRMA-sanctioned vintage races that go toward national championships, in this case a double whammy thanks to the two days and a total of 24 races in various classes. Factor in the AHRMA races held a week later at nearby Sonoma Raceway, and it adds up to a major week of important events for competitors seeking to bolster their standings. As a result, the Corsa attracted race teams and spectators from Australia, New Zealand, England, Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Thailand as well as across the U.S., and all were greeted by both mild temperatures and mild breezes.
Special attractions included several “First Ever” bikes both on the track and displayed in the Bike Show, not to mention treasure hunting in the swap meet area.
While there were literally hundreds of cool bikes/cool people to choose from, here’s a taste of a special event attended by true enthusiasts of all ages enjoying the full spectrum of exceptional bikes. Big thanks to Yoshi for making it all happen for all these years. He tells us next year’s event may include the addition of Willow Springs’ other race venues for competition, including the dirt track and mountain course, no doubt attracting even more competitors ready to enjoy some of the country’s best vintage racing.

Tokyo-based Animal Boat Custom Cycles, founded in 1995, specializes in vintage restorations and customization. Like they say, build the Corsa and they will come, even from about 7,900 miles away. Rider Daisuke Mukasa did just that.

Ferocious sounding 1965 MV Agusta 350 Triple, the first of its kind, was brought by Virgil Elings, mega race bike fan and collector. The MV factory built the bike to beat Honda in the 350 class, later increasing displacement to 420cc, 470cc and 500cc, notching up more championships than any other design. At Corsa, the MV was ridden by Virgil’s son Jeff who also took two Firsts on a ’72 Yamaha in the Formula 250 race, another First in Classic Sixties aboard a 1965 Matchless, yet another First in Formula 500 riding a ’68 Penton.

These 1000cc Formula Class Kawi racers were built by Moriwaki in Japan. Riders included Australian Wayne Gardner who campaigned so successfully on it that Honda hired him. Vintage superbike racing is by far the fastest of the Corsa weekend and a real crowd-pleaser.

George Beavers’ 1981 Suzuki GS1100E was engineered by Ed Milich with motor work by Carry Andrew, then topped off by Rick Carmody’s paint, so this was no longer a stock snoozy Suzi.

Sidecar was piloted by Steady Betty while hanging it all out was “monkey” Red Fury. Go girls! You don’t find much sidecar racing in the U.S. as compared to other countries, so it was fun seeing them glide over the course a bit like wingless airplanes. A special race commemorated Doug “Mr. Sidecar” Bingham, a leading light in the sport who recently passed away.
