Porsche Club of America – San Diego Region welcomes you!

Join us as we head to Southern California's newest track for the first of two great weekends in 2015: Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, Saturday & Sunday, January 24 & 25, running counterclockwise (we'll be back in October running clockwise). January is high season in the low desert, so be sure to carefully read everything on both this page and the next before signing up so that you aren't shut out!

This event features both a Driver's Ed (DE) and a Time Trial (TT), with separate run groups for each event and differing entrant requirements (DE events have no driving prerequisites; see Prior Experience section on the following page). Time Trials, which have driving prerequisites, work like a Driver's Ed event during practice, but feature Transponder timing during all sessions with times posted online immediately thereafter as well as in the Club's permanent record database after the event (no timing for DE run groups though in-car timers are currently permitted except for novices). All Students – both DE and TT – are currently being Waitlisted pending the availability of additional Instructors. In addition, all Yellow group drivers (even those with Zone 8 Solo Permits) are also being Waitlisted. Sign up when registration first opens to avoid this uncertainty in the future. We do expect significant movement in the Waitlist as qualified Instructors sign up, so register now to improve your chances of getting a spot on the grid. Run groups are allocated based upon supply and demand. All spots are allocated first come, first served, but with 2 day participants taking priority over 1 day participants. If you sign up and a spot does not become available for you, you will not be charged. Thus, if you are interested in participating, especially as a novice DE or experienced TT Student, indicate your interest by signing up ASAP.

You may sign up for any one or both days. The base price for this event (assumes early registration, no need to rent anything, etc.) is $270 for the weekend. Track time per entrant is expected to be approximately 3 hours, and traffic is anticipated to be low so everyone should be able to get tons of flying laps. Our $/hour ratio is among the lowest of any group, especially when you factor in the quality aspect. See the Payment section below for more info.

To register we require that you join the PCA - San Diego group here on MotorsportReg.com (note: this just means adding PCA - San Diego to your list of Clubs on MotorsportReg; it does not make you a member of PCA). Regardless of which region of PCA you belong to or if you don't belong to PCA at all, you must join the SDR group on this web site (again, doing so will not make you a member of PCA). This will be done as a step in the registration process. Non-Porsches that meet our rules are welcome!!!

Season Pass: For those drivers who plan to run with us all season long – see our complete schedule here – we again offer the Season Pass at no up-front cost! Track rental rates have been rising each year and yet we have not had a significant price increase in several years. In fact, in 2013 we LOWERED PRICES for early registration (defined as at least 2 weeks prior to the event), providing drivers that register in a timely fashion with the same prices they paid back in 2007. Even with hefty increases from some of the tracks we are holding tight on prices for 2015, and yet with a Season Pass you can get an even better deal and two free gifts!

Sign up for the Season Pass with this event then simply pay for and attend all days of all of our TT or DE events this year (TT'ers may skip up to 3 event-days, and registration in the Club Race portion of a joint TT/CR event qualifies as attendance; DE'ers may skip up to 2 DE event-days and are exempt from events that do not offer a DE) while receiving $25 off the then-current online price of each multi-day event ($10 per single-day event; note that it is your responsibility after signing up to claim the Season Pass discount at each event – it isn't automatic). And you automatically move to the top of the Waitlist for any event you sign up for that is full. You'll also receive two exclusive free gifts just for signing up: a knit beanie featuring the Porsche crest and denoting your series participation, and an SDR-logo'd Nomex balaclava (perfect to keep you safe and that Snell 2015 helmet you're planning to buy nice and clean). Combined with early registration prices for events, with a Season Pass you'll be paying what we charged way back in 2003! You will not be charged anything up-front and will be entitled to the above discount at each SDR-managed track event in 2015 including the California Festival of Speed. If you miss more event-days than permitted, you will be back-billed for the cumulative discounts you received plus $50 to cover the cost of the gifts you received. Complete details will be sent to you after you sign up and you may opt out at that time with no cost or obligation. It's simple, costs you nothing, showers you with exclusive gifts, and potentially saves you $175 over the course of the season! Note: the design above is for illustrative purposes only and may be different than the actual production garments. You must sign up for the Season Pass by January 4 in order to guarantee your gift availability.

Physical Damage Insurance – NEW: Insurance for your car is available for this event via Lockton Affinity, LLC, PCA's exclusively endorsed insurance provider. Note that liability coverage is not included and Time Trial Timed Runs are specifically excluded from coverage. This insurance is strictly optional. For more info click here.

Event Hotel: Best Western Date Tree Hotel, 81909 Indio Boulevard, Indio, CA 92201, (760) 347-3421. Rates are fluctuating since this is high season in the area. Ask for the Chuckwalla Race Track rate or the best available, in case they have a better offer at the time you call. It is suggested that you call soon and directly, rather than using the travelnow.com links to the right in order to get the best rate.

Late Registration: You must register with credit card on file by 11:59 pm January 9 to receive the discounted online rate; after that a $50 late fee applies through January 18. Online registration closes at 11:59 pm January 18, after which even higher on-site registration fees apply (though space is unlikely to be available at that time).

Payment: You MUST use a credit card to pay if registering online, VISA, MasterCard, or Discover only. For complete event pricing details proceed with registration steps. You will have a chance to confirm (or abort) after you make your selections. Card billed AFTER the event.

Cancellation Fee: There are potential fees associated with cancelling after various dates. Please see the full cancellation policy at the bottom of the next page.
