2026 86Cup Presented by Maxxis Tires Round 4 – Willow Springs International Raceway

Round 4 of the 2026 86Cup presented by Maxxis Tires

After the last two “roadtrip” events, the 86Cup crew is heading back a little bit closer to home.

Round 4 sees us at Willow Springs International Raceway circuit aka “Big Willow” on Saturday, May 2nd.

Big Willow will be undergoing a “reimagining” relatively soon so this is your last chance to refresh some old PBs before we see some massive changes coming to the oldest permanent road course in America.

Track day registration for Round 4, as with all event rounds in 2026, will be with Speed Ventures. You can sign up here: https://speedventures.com/Events/Detail.aspx?id=1043

We are less than two weeks out as of writing this and we already have about 13 drivers signed up, so hope you can come on out!

2026 86Cup Presented by Maxxis Tires Round 2 – Chuckwalla Valley Raceway CW

Round 1 came and went super quick and we’re already almost at March if you can believe it!

Round 2 of the 2026 86Cup presented by Maxxis Tires, sees us head east out into the center of the desert. Desert Center that is, and visit Chuckwalla Valley Raceway on Saturday, March 14th.

This 2.68 mile track may not seem like much on paper but when you’re out there, you’ll find that this track rewards those that are brave enough to really keep their average speed up and utilize the berms to their advantage.

However you don’t want to stay too glued to those berms for too long as the runoff at the edge of the track is usually a steep descent leading to bent wheels and busted subframes, if not worse.

As with all events in 2026, this round will be hosted with our good friends at Speed Ventures: https://speedventures.com/Events/Detail.aspx?id=1040

Registration appears to be waitlisted as of this announcement but if you want to join the waitlist, do so ASAP and be sure to put down “86Cup competitor”. Speed Ventures will do what they can to squeeze in as many competition folks as possible at the last second.

As of writing this announcement, there are 17 folks signed up for 86Cup which is awesome to see!

Cabins at Chuckwalla have been sold out for this weekend for months, so best to look elsewhere in the locale for your lodging needs. Otherwise camping is a great way to wake up close to the track! It might be kind of chilly however…

The 86Cup driver registration form link will be up on our home page here about a week before the event. So be sure to fill that out so your times can count and you can potentially get award(s) at the end of it all!

We hope to see you all at Round 2! But if not, hopefully you all can make it out to Sin City with us in April. See ya when we see ya!

The new season is finally upon us! We are less than one week for Round 1!!

Round 1 sees us kick the season off at the newly-refreshed Streets of Willow at the Willow Springs compound. Tire walls, tire stacks, guardrails, berms and extra runoff will pose a new challenge even to those that have several events here under their belt.

Event registration for this round is basically sold out. We’ll be with our friends at Speed Ventures for the entirety of the 2026 86Cup season, so that makes it easy for you to follow along!

If you’d like to join the waitlist, you can do so here: https://speedventures.com/Events/Detail.aspx?id=1029

The 86Cup Driver Registration Form is already out as we’re less than a week away, you can find it HERE or on the homepage of our 86Cup website, updated for 2026!

If you’re attending Round 1, be sure to stick around until the end of the event as we’ll be hosting awards same day for the first time in forever for 86Cup!

We hope to see you at Round 1, but if not, there are plenty of chances to catch us for the rest of the year.
