A full weekend of open track!  $220 for either single day or $350 for the weekend, four run sessions per day. Co-drivers (this is a shared entry with an already registered participant - same group / same car) can register for $75. Passengers are welcome, register here for $15.

SCCA 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. 

Novices - We'll have a dedicated Novice Coach just for your group to make sure you enjoy the experience, we'll go over etiquette, track awareness, how to enter and exit the track, passing zones, and general techniques, which will help the day go smoothly and give you the tools to advance from novice to intermediate or advanced groupings.

The schedule may be adjusted closer to the event date as we balance our entries and run groups, but there will be four run sessions per group. We expect registration and drivers meetings between 7:30 AM and 8:15AM, first cars out between 8:30 AM and 9:00AM, finishing by 4:00PM, subject to change.
 

Run Group Structure:

Novice: Generally 0-2 days track experience, or anyone with more experience but not yet as comfortable on track. Session includes lead-follow familiarization lap in first session to familiarize with the track/safety protocol and session by session instructor meetings to help with questions and feedback throughout the event. Point by passing based on group progression, generally front and back straight.

Early-Intermediate: Generally 2-4 days track experience, or anyone with more experience but not yet as comfortable on track. Point-by passing on front and back straights.

Intermediate: Generally 4-10 days track experience. Point-by passing on all straights.

Advanced: Generally 10+ days track experience. Point-by passing still mandatory, but may be taken anywhere on track. (For Advanced, you must be able to complete a lap at 2m 10s or better in either direction.)

Event Amenities:

Hotel / Lodging: On-site cabins are by far the easiest - Website: Cabins — Chuckwalla Valley Raceway. Track side camping is allowed (RV, Tent, Back of your truck). RV Power hookups are available for electrical as well as black / gray water dumping (there are fees for hookups and dumping, please contact the track to get these rates). Indio is the closest town with hotels approximately 50 minutes away.

Food / Concessions: The track sells hot breakfast and lunches with drinks at the track.

Photography: CaliPhotography will be on-site to take professional photos and slo-mo video throughout the weekend! Robert Glaze (Email: cvrlorax@gmail.com or Instagram: @cvr_lorax) always recommends planning ahead. Pre-purchasing before the weekend or before the start of each day will guarantee priority shots (and more of them).
