California’s Forgotten Track: Chuckwalla Raceway

Features, Racing I By Winding Road Staff I January 18, 2017

This video lets you see a few POV laps of ChuckWalla Raceway. We're calling it California's "forgotten" track because when we talk to people, they name Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and Sonoma and Thunderhill, and sometimes know about Willow Springs and Buttonwillow, but they rarely mention ChuckWalla. Of course, ChuckWalla is the newest of these California road courses (not counting the Porsche Experience Center or the Thermal Club which aren't really open to the public).

ChuckWalla is in Desert Center, east of Palm Springs. Not a difficult drive if you're in Southern California and worth a trip for a change of pace. Take a look:

If you need equipment before you visit ChuckWalla, we invite you to visit our Southern California store in Fountain Valley.
