West Coast Tracks

Hey all. I recently relocated from Charlotte, NC to the Southwest and now have the chance to ride some west cost tracks. Being this late in the season the events are few, but I'm looking at getting in a few.

I live in Yuma, AZ so what do you guys recommend? My choices are Buttonwillow, Willow Springs, Infineon, LVMS, Autoclub and Chuckwalla. There is an event at Luguna in December, but man it might just be to cold to ride.

OH, how is The Streets at Willow ran? There looks to be tons of configurations for that track.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Pahrump should be #1 on the list than LVMS,Buttonwillow, Streets of Willow, Big Willow than Autoclub for Southern California and Nevada.

 

You have to do Miller.

If you're willing to drive to Infineon and Laguna, then there's also Thunderhill and Reno-Fernley.

 

Thunderhill is my favorite in California, then Laguna. Streets is real fuin, and cheap. It's the outer course if you look at a map, all the way up to the bowl, and using the skidpad as the last corner. Buttonwillow is fun too, counterclockwise is full layout is my favorite. Big Willow is cool for high speed, turn 2 is a lot of fun, real looong, fast and slightly uphill.

Hell man, do them all, except Cali speedway, take that $300 and do Laguna in December. Winter is awesome in Monterey, it won't be to cold.

I'll be there. It won't be too cold..but it might be wet.

 

do you like fast or slow tracks?

VERY FAST AND FLOWING: WILLOW SPRINGS (MAIN TRACK) AKA "Big Willow"

QUITE SLOW AND TECHNICAL (and VERY bumpy- you have been warned): STREETS OF WILLOW

VERY BALANCED TRACK: BUTTONWILLOW (highly recommended)

STOP/START PROFESSIONAL TRACK: AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY

GOOD BALANCED TRACK AND PROBABLY CLOSEST TO YOU: PAHRUMP

take your pic.

 

Autoclub would be closest to Yuma.

If Chuckwalla ever opens it would then be closest to Yuma...maybe 2.5 - 3 hrs. away.

Pahrump is up west of Vegas, quite a drive from Yuma.

Thanks for all the info. I'm signed up for Autoclub, Buttonwillow and Willow Springs. I'm looking at maybe signing up for Infineon in December.

Again, thanks. I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you guys at the track.

Thanks. I'm currently waitlisted w/ti2tt for Chuckwalla. Does anyone know when this track might open?

super 8 has good discounts. PM me for details!

 

Do not stay at Homeland Inn period.

Red Roof is the nicest of the lot, just comes down to if you want to pay for it

 

^^ i don't mind homeland inn

 

BTW: This is about SOUTHwest tracks...not all west coast tracks.

 

Buttonwillow was great; good weather both days with the exception of high winds and dust late on day two. A bit bumpy, but fun still the same.

Heading to Autoclub next weekend. Should be a good weekend. Is the paddock completely paved at Autoclub? Wondering if I need to bring canopy and weights.

Thanks for the help.
