Rounds 8 and 9 of the 2025 Racetreads GT Radial 86Cup sees us head out east to the desert for a doubleheader weekend at Chuckwalla!

Both days will have us doing the Clockwise (CW) configuration of this 2.68 mile track out in Desert Center, California.

The best part of this weekend isn’t just the on-track action but also the camaraderie and bonds that form between the 86Cup community as well as other track rats lingering on Saturday night as we typically have a potluck/barbecue at the cabins at Chuckwalla.

Registration is OPEN via Speed Ventures and Saturday is already pretty much sold out, if not filled up by the time of this post. We recommend signing up as soon as you possibly can to make sure you get in! You may have to sign up for Sunday and ask to be waitlisted for Saturday. If you do end up on a waitlist for either day, please be sure to write “86Cup competitor” in the notes. There’s a lot of competitions happening this day so there’s no guarantees you’ll get in as per usual but the awesome team at SV will always do what they can to get competitors in first!

You can register for the weekend here: https://www.speedventures.com/Events/Detail.aspx?id=1017

Along that same vein, cabins at Chuckwalla are basically sold out, so best to look to Palm Springs for some lodging or perhaps even try your hand at camping (though it gets extremely cold in the fall)!

We can’t wait to see you all at the end of November!

P.S. With championship battles heating up, if you need tires before the event, purchase through our Racetreads 86Cup member link to receive a small discount on your order or simply enter
” 86CUP “ into the promo code area when checking out! (All GT Radial tires used for redemption need to be purchased through Racetreads regardless). Our friends at CounterSpace Garage can also help out with any fluids, maintenance items and any other modifications you may fancy before the end of year is up.
