CVR is a brand new track out in the middle of no-where desert of California between Palm Springs and Blythe off of RT 10.
And its awesome.
40 ft wide, over 2 miles long, 16 turns, multiple elevation changes, long linked corners (righties and lefties) and a section of banking which they call "Mini-Daytona"...and, no facilities.
They just completed Phase 1 of the build and thank goodness the track is bad ass, because when I was there on Sat last weekend at 105 with 20 mph winds I could have cared less about where I was going to sleep that night.
It reminded me a lot of NJMP is terms of how flowing and smooth the track was, and how open. But its much more technical than NJ, and not as fast. It has more small straights where you can break 115 easy (if you have the nut to brake just as hard) but the front straight is very short.
I am working out in Tucson for the summer and of course, was looking for a track to get to, a bike to borrow, anything. The first weekend I am here I find out that one of my co-workers just bought an Aprilia RS 125 and is heading to another new track about an hour away called INDE Motor Sports Park. I end up going with him, and corner working for the TD Org. Take It 2 the Track, and earn myself a free TD!!!!
But how am I gonna use it?
I got no bike, I got no truck, and how will I be able to line those 2 big unknowns up for a TD weekend?
Enter Brad from Xtrememotorcyclerental.com, who shows up with a track prepped 848 with Michelins best slick front and a brand new PP rear + gas, warmers, easy-up, table, cars, etc. The whole kit and kabootle!
Next thing I know I am driving 5 hours out into the California Desert searching for this track, and this is what happened...
I want to go back...and what I really want to do is come home and ride NHMS! But, I'll take what I can get. I only had one "whoopsie" after lunch where I misjudged a sharp left and had to check out the quality of the run-off. No worries.
If you're out West and get a chance. I highly recommend you take it and check out this track. It's awesome!
