DROC Private track day at Chuckwalla March 10

The 4^th edition of our private track day for Ducati Riders of Orange County members is here!

What’s so special about our PRIVATE track day?

It’s our private day, so we opted for the best possible experience:

• One of the best SoCal tracks Chuckwalla Raceway. Configuration is ClockWise CW
• 3 classes of riders (A/B/C format) so that you can enjoy your laps in a group with a similar pace
• We are limiting the number of riders to about 60, which means you’ll hardly hit any traffic on a large track such as Chuckwalla.
• We are pampering you: food and beverages can be prepaid and ready for you without having to worry about it, all your pictures from the day on and off track, suspension service included for free (first come first serve), tire service on site (buy tires or bring your own) (to be confirmed)
• Professional coaching available
• Giveaways

What experience do I need?

What’s included for everyone:

• 7 sessions of 20′ in the classic A/B/C format
• Free professional pictures on and off the track by CaliPhotography
• Free Light breakfast and beverages
• Free suspension service by Paradigm Cycle Services. This is first come, first serve, so we anticipate you get in line soon if you are interested.

Please note: prepaid lunch is an add-on item this year, as several riders mentioned they bring from home or skip lunch altogether. Add the item for you and your pit-crew to find it ready at the track.

Additional on-site services

• Lodging: Chuckwalla Raceway has exceptional cabins right outside the inner gate of the track. As the closest town is 45′ away, we recommend you book one. Look at a virtual tour of the cabins here. Other options are RV Camping and paddock camping, see here. If cabins are sold out online, please contact Chuckwalla Raceway directly at (760) 227-3100  and mention you are part of the private DROC event. A limited amount of cabins are being held for our event.
• Fuel is available onsite at Chuckwalla, even if you might want to bring your own
• No garages are available at Chuckwalla – you will need a canopy. Contact us for help in case you need one.

Preparing your bike and its rider (you!)

Your bike should be in top shape, if you are worried about it or if you have any current technical issues please ask Ducati Newport Beach for an inspection.

Bike preparation

• A clean, road-worthy motorcycle with properly operating controls (throttle, brakes, clutch, etc.) is required
• Engine in good running condition with no leaks
• Tires in new or nearly new condition. This is important because you can easily get in excess of 175 miles on the track per day.
• Mirrors must be taped (blue painters tape recommended), or removed
• Taillight must be taped (blue painters tape recommended) and the brake light completely covered, or disabled to not distract following riders
• Wheel weights must be taped (duct tape recommended)

Not sure what tools/etc to bring? Check this comprehensive track day checklist for ideas.

Rider Preparation

• Leather suit or jacket+pants that zip together, or equivalent Cordura nylon or Kevlar suit
• Leather or Kevlar riding gloves extending above the wrist
• Leather riding boots extending above the ankle
• A DOT and/or Snell-approved full-face helmet with a locking visor and no damage
