Track Days provide an environment for drivers who simply want to increase the enjoyment of driving their vehicle. For most drivers all it takes to be a part is your safe street car, a valid driver’s license, and an approved helmet.
That’s it. The goal is to give you a thrilling experience and stories to share, all from an environment which gives everyone a level to feel comfortable. It is not to give a high pressure experience and high stakes of "winning." Track Days are not races - any on-track passes are limited to specific passing zones, and only with a signal known as a "point-by." We are, however, considering competition events in the near future.
You will receive some instruction while you’re there. That instruction often comes in the form of how to safely enjoy yourself, rather than how to drive at the limit. Think etiquette, how to learn a driving line, passing zones, and general techniques, which may allow you to move from a novice to intermediate or advanced groupings, as you feel comfortable.
The schedule will be released closer to the event date as we balance five groups. Our typical start time is 6:30am for registration with an end time close to 4pm, but is subject to change.
Other relevant information:
Please, limit to drivers and essential crew only on-site. No spectators or ride-alongs unless it is your paid co-driver sharing a household.
The most convenient place to stay overnight prior/after the event is the ON-SITE CABINS!
Chuckwalla Raceway does serve/sell hot lunches/snacks/drinks on-site. Please pack accordingly.
CaliPhotography will be on-site to take professional photos!
No transponders will be available for this event.
