PCASDR DE & Time Trial – Chuckwalla (CW) info on Jan 6, 2024 (308046) | MotorsportReg.com

Porsche Club of America – San Diego Region welcomes you!

Join us at what has become PCA San Diego's home track: Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, Saturday & Sunday, January 6 & 7, running clockwise.  Winter in the low desert usually provides nearly perfect driving weather.   Be sure to carefully read everything on both this page and the next before signing up so that you aren't shut out!

This Chuckwalla event features both a Driver's Ed (DE) and a Time Trial (TT), with separate run groups. All spots are allocated first come, first served (subject to Season Pass priority).  If you sign up and a spot does not become available for you, you will not be charged.

Important information for signing-up (read and heed this carefully before registration opens if you really want to attend):

• Due to very high expected demand, completing the online registration process DOES NOT mean you are Confirmed to attend the event
• Sign up correctly when registration first opens to maximize your chances of being confirmed
• To sign up correctly, thoroughly read this information page and the next, follow all instructions (many of which need to be completed before registration opens), then carefully fill out the registration form on the third page once it becomes available
• If you do not perform the steps that are required to be completed before you go on to register you will likely either not be able to complete registration before a sellout occurs or you will have an incomplete registration which will cause a loss of your registration priority based upon time of sign-up
• Your credit card will not be charged when you sign up (though the number will be collected)
• You must monitor your e-mail regularly and be prepared to respond within 24 hours (8 hours the week of the event) to any inquiries you may receive or you will lose your priority
• Plan to check your Dashboard on MotorsportReg about 2 weeks after registration opens to view your status  
• If you are Waitlist New, we do expect movement on the waitlist as confirmed participant cancellations occur

Only two-day registration is available for this event; however, you may attend only one of the two days if you wish   The base price for this event (assumes early registration, no need to rent anything, etc.) is $475 for the weekend.  Student entrance fee starts at $575 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, making it a great deal, especially when you factor in the quality aspect.  See the Payment section below for more info.

To register, you are required join the PCA - San Diego group 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 TT drivers who plan to run with us all season long – see our 2024 schedule at https://pcasdr.org/competition/dett-schedule/ – we again offer the Season Pass.

Sign up for this event prior to December 22nd and pay an additional $160 to register for the Season Pass. Then you will receive a $40 discount from every two-day event you sign up for throughout the year ($15 for a single-day sign-up).  In addition you will receive priority registration. There is no minimum attendance requirement.  (Note that it is your responsibility after signing-up to claim the Season Pass discount at each event – it isn't automatic).  Season Pass holders with a Zone 8 Solo Permit are guaranteed a spot regardless of when they sign up (so no need to wake up early on the Sunday morning that a registration opens!).  Student Season Pass holders automatically receive priority when registering for events (processed first for new events, and moved to the top of the Waitlist for any event they sign up for that is full at the time).

Physical Damage Insurance:  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 now insurable for an additional charge.  This insurance is strictly optional.  Be sure to read all the fine print.  For more info click https://locktonmotorsports.com/hpde-insurance/.

Lap Times and Event Info on your Mobile Phone: You may sign up for our mobile phone timing and notification system as part of your registration for this event.  For a Standard subscription (lap times for your car, notifications of postings for your run group, and important announcements), simply check the box that says you do not want a Custom subscription.  Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service, you MUST have your mobile phone number on file with MotorsportReg in the Mobile/Cell field of your profile or your registration will not be processed.  Having your mobile number in any other field while leaving the Mobile/Cell field blank amounts to not having your mobile number in the system.  Again, your registration is not valid until this has been completed and others registering after you will be prioritized ahead of you.  To check or input this, sign in, then click the “My Account” tab, then click “My Profiles”, click on your name, then click “Edit My Information”.  Enter your mobile phone number into the field titled “Mobile/Cell” – even if you already have it in other fields – then click “Save My Information”.
