Lotus Club Chuckwalla Track Day

Lotus Club of Southern California is holding a track day at Chuckwalla on April 23, 2023.  Anyone who has run with us knows that LCOSC event attendees are sure to have an awesome track day with all the track time a driver could ever hope for.  With only three run groups and low car counts per group, we offer two normal track days' worth of driving time in one event, with much less traffic! 

Reasons to run with us:

·         LOW car counts per run group.  Ever get frustrated that your track time is just spent in traffic?  Each of our groups are capped at lower car counts than what other organizations run. Drivers at LCOSC events are sure to be able to find plenty of clear track.

·         LOW total car count.  Not only do we run low car counts per group, we also run only three total run groups!  This means that you’ll get over an hour of track time in the morning, and over an hour of track time in the afternoon, minimum.  Typically, drivers end up with about 2.5 hours of driving time for the day; double of what most organizations offer.

·         SAFE AND FRIENDLY environment.  We’re a club that emphasizes track safety.  If you’re a beginner looking to just begin tracking, we help provide coaching and an environment you’ll be comfortable with.  If you’re a seasoned driver, our low key atmosphere ensures a fun filled day.

Pricing is $230 for members and $250 for nonmembers, if you register before April 2.  Pricing changes to $250 for members and $270 for nonmembers on April 3.  If you are not a LCOSC or GGLC family member, you can become a LCOSC member for $25 when you sign up and take the member discount immediately.  

We will be running Low Intermediate (G3), High Intermediate (G2), and Advanced (G1) run groups..  Advanced Group (G1) is for experienced drivers with 15+ track days/racing experience or equivalent who are comfortable with open passing conditions.  High intermediate Group (G2) is for drivers with a minimum of 5 track days experience who are comfortable with point-by passing anywhere on track.  Low Intermediate Group (G3) is open to all drivers and will be point-by passing on the main and back straights.  Drivers with no track experience should register in Low Intermediate and e-mail lcosc@gglotus.org to request a private coach.

We have a low registration limit to ensure the best possible track day experience, so register now!  We hope to see you on track!
