Vincent found Nirvana on a barren stretch of Mojave Desert hillside called Willow Springs.
Famous for its high-speed “big track,” the 50+year-old raceway is home to the Toyota Grand Prix and the WSMC, a seriously competitive club racing outfit that helped spawn a host of high profile talent over the years, like the Hayden Bros., HyperCycle, Chuck Graves and Attack Racing.
Back in the day, Vincent demonstrated a determination to win that drew a lot of fan enthusiasm. At the September, 2002 round of WSMC racing, Vincent set his sights on finishing first in the premiere Formula One event, and getting the better of his long time rival Chuck Graves. After a spirited chase, he managed to win by a bike length - throttle pinned, right at the line.
