Xmas Trip + Track Day Dallas->Arizona->Chuckwalla
I currently live in Dallas, TX and will be visiting some family in Tucson, AZ for the holidays. I had originally planned to fly out but since I had plenty of time off and love road trips, I tossed around the idea of driving my truck. Lately I have been wanting to explore new/other tracks than the ones I frequent. I figured, hey Why not trailer my car out to Arizona over Xmas and hit some tracks out there. Unfortunately most tracks shut down around that time of year so I had to broaden my search radius.
I found that Chuckwalla Valley Raceway will be having an event Dec 28-29 hosted by STAR CarSports. Perfectly fits in my schedule. This will add 5 hours of driving west to my already 15 hour trek but hey, what the hell My questions to y'all: -Anyone in Tucson or near Chuckwalla want to meetup and chat about Z4s around Xmas? -Is anyone attending this event? -Has anyone ever driven Chuckwalla Valley Raceway? Opinions? Did you like? what didn't you like? Any hotels/gas/food near? I'm really looking forward to this as I've never trailer my car to an event and hoping it all goes well. It will be my Xmas present to myself! P.S. Posted in Southwest & California since it encompasses both areas. |

Plan on staying in Palm Springs, there is not much out at Chuckwalla. I am not sure of my schedule in December. If I'm around I would like to meet up. The track is only 2.5 years old. The track gets a good bit of sand on it as you are in the middle of the desert and miles from anything.

35-40 minutes away if you're going 100+.

The track is a good 10 minutes off of the highway. Last time I went, even at triple digit speed the whole way, it still took all of 40 minutes from the nearest hotel for me.
