So I live out in the Coachella Valley, and finally we have a full service race track. I dont know if anyone here on H-T has heard of it, I did a search and nothing came up(but my searching skills need improvement). Its in Desert Center 1hr outside Palm Springs on the way to Blythe. Pretty nice track, with Short and long term garages, pits, the whole nine yards!

So when are we gonna hold a H-T track day? Would anyone be interested?

 

It was posted here a few mos by Sam Rothschild i think... but i havent heard anything yet..
I need a good excuse to go down south anyway.
If not to see the so cal guys but to get out of the bay..
Theres nothing on their schedule....

 

lets put somethin on thier schedule!

 

The problem there is no hotel near by, so very hard to put on a big event

 

Yep Not all of us can drive our house to the track.

Yea We all dont have a "Casa de Benny", unless your offering up some floor space to crash on??

 

There are plenty of hotels in indio, Fantasy Springs Casino, Spotlight 29 Casino, Holiday Inn etc.,about 1/2 hour away, there is camping(lol right), and I have my shop in Palm Springs, I would offer up as a crash/prep/pit spot for the night before and after!

 

EDO,
I have a DA I am planning on putting on the track as well, what did you use for the lower portion of your front bumper on your blue DA?

 

Chuckwalla is a cool track. Its pretty new, in believe they opened in April of 2010. I've raced there in June. Track is clean and smooth and the run off is just hard dirt... No weird ditches.. Www.starcarsports.com is having an event there the weekend of sept 25. Check it out. Not too many people show, so you can run all day.

 

Just got the info today...its 150 a day presale for open lapping, on and off the track whenever you want all day!! 2 Days! And you can pay at the gate if you cant get in on the presale for another 50 dollars. I am going to try to button up the integra and get it out there!! If anyone wants to roll out let me know and we can meet up at my shop in Palm Springs.

 

What do they have out there in the way of safety crew and corner workers...

 

I'd love to try this new track.

sweet, i live in yucca valley.... would be interested in a track day soon!

 

Anybody gonna hit up the open lap day tomo, oct 27?

 

Cool. A bit far for me since I'm coming from Northern Cali but I already make the trek to willow springs. How much further do you guys think it is from willow springs to Desert Center?

 

It's pretty far. Desert center is 70 miles east of palm springs

 

I'm heading out there for two day 11/13-11/14. cant wait, i hear the average speed for a c05 is 98mph. for the guys i HC socal, it's not that bad of a drive to some of the coachella valley hotels about 30 mins or so. there are a few hotels in the Eagle mountain area also. if you in the desert area and want to come you just let me know.

 

Hanging at the track, drinking after a nice day of open lapping. The track has a great layout and the plain for the future are looking good. Can't wait to see this track as it develops. We will be here all weekend and I hoping to see a few friends.
