Chuckwalla Valley Raceway

This would be a 5 star rating but that would be disingenuous. The facilities are minimal, but that's the only negative. But: Amazing track. Safe. Good flow. Challenging. Fun people. I was a member, then left and joined Thermal, then left and am going back to CVR.
If you want to be abused in the ultimate " timeshare" you can't get out of (I got lucky), impress people you don't know and join The Thermal Club. If you just want to have fun, join CVR.

Love this track i spent Memorial Day weekend I had a blast rented there cabins for 2 days they were clean and comfy....

Love this place! Don't get me wrong, this place doesn't need Yelp to survive. I come here during the winter when Northern California racetracks are closed for moto.

There's a place to store the trailer/motor home.

There is an entrance fee.

Lots of various track due to it being in the middle of no where.

Showers are pretty awesome. Well maintained. 3 bathroom stalls, one is always out of order. 2 shower stalls, love. The. Water. Pressure. !!!!! So good. Has 15 minutes light and vent timer. Track waters down the whole bathroom after an event.
Always have hand sanitizer and soap and paper towel.

They just installed some new power outlets, but very few. Haven't used it yet, as I run off the motor home.

Gas station available lowest being 91.

Garages in the back but I believe they are all taken/sold out.

Track owner pretty cool. Usually lunch from 12-1 on an event where if you're a member of the track you can ride unrestricted. Epic!


Track itself goes counter clockwise and clockwise.

Will be coming back each winter

Oh!
4 stars because it's in the middle of the desert and I can't find permanent reference points so it's annoying...

Recently re paved but chunks are coming up :( be careful!

Best racetrack and people in the southwestern United States. Outstanding in every way!

Been here a number of times over the last two years and it's my favorite track in SoCal. It's still the newest track in SoCal so the track is well maintained. However, like most people note, facilities are pretty subpar for a new track. Main building is small, they don't offer garages, bathroom can be a pain to get to if you're not parked close by.

I've noticed that regardless of the track org, the people that run the track keeps everyone in check and always gets to downed riders quickly. I've had sessions at other tracks where one crash could delay the next session for an hour. At Chuckwalla, I've seen crashes in every session but you'd hardly notice cause the riders are attended to right away.

The track layout is easy enough for an average rider but difficult enough where it can bite you in the butt if you ride outside your skill level. Make sure to follow the cones on the blind turns. The cones are incredibly helpful cause they have a few turns that can be confusing and I've seen plenty people crash on the blind turns. Stay on your line, follow the cones, and you'll be good.

Overall, fun track. It's a must try for any rider within 5 hours. Facilities aren't that great but I'm more concerned about a fun and well-maintained track like CVR.

Im very surprised after reading some of the comments how this business is able to stay in business. Already filed a complaint with the better business bureau and other agencies. This business charged us and when we requested refund they got upset and banned us. No worries. For them it's not a big deal but you can be certain we will follow this through until they regret there actions.

My first track day, hosted by Moto Forza went very well. It was a Monday so not overcrowded, and the staff were well organized. Even for a first timer it was easy to find where everything was, and I appreciated the rider's meeting, where I got a tip on tire pressure. AGV helmets was also on site, and I got to try one out for a session. The restrooms were large and clean but that's about it for paddock-side amenities. The small food diner did not look too appetizing, and I was glad I brought all my own food anyway. John from CaliPhotography was on site and nabbed some decent shots of me. It would be nice to see even more amenities out here, but, it's so far from anything I can see why its got what its got.

The track itself was very kind to my OEM street tires and very fun in CC direction, some very fun race lines to cruise. Track was very clean and pretty tight, I look forward top coming back.

Always a great time racing motorcycles and being with my track family. Plenty of space and a great track to hone your skills and even see some celebrities from time to time

I was fully expecting to give this place at least 4 stars but what the hell is up with the facilities?....or should I say the lack of facilities?

Chuckwalla is one of the newer tracks in SoCal and it's literally out in the middle of friggin no where. There is nothing there...expect for SPACE! So why is the paddock area so friggin small? The paddock is literally just a rectangular piece of asphalt in the desert, why not extend the asphalt like 20 feet in each directly?

The paddock looks like an outdoor swamp meet, with cars and EZ ups laid out in a tightly packed grid.

There is one restroom building off to the side, a big tent in the middle and a classroom trailer with a small kitchen attached that sells breakfast burritos and burgers.


The track itself is pretty good; lots of double apexes and a nice flow. There is basically nothing to hit except the corner stations and the wall at the pit lane so it's a safe track.

If you go off roading, the dirt and dried up bushes aren't too bad. No crazy rocks that destroy your suspension like at Willow Springs.

All in all it's a pretty good track but the fact that it's 3+ hours from LA kind of sucks.

Awesome facility. Tire vendors are on site as well as suspension techs. Fuel station on premise.
