Track Day FAQ

Q: When/where can I purchase power?

A: You can purchase power at the Credential Building outside Gate 2 upon arrival in the afternoon/evening on move-in day, typically the day before the rental begins. Power is reserved on a first-come-first-served basis, but we have plenty! Power cannot be purchased ahead of time.

Q: What type of power is available?

A: 30- and 50-amp. We have 110 outlets and the large 4 prong outlets. Power hookups are available in the Paddock. You must display a valid power permit if you hook up to any power in the Paddock.

Q: How much is power?

A: Power can be purchased on-site upon arrival at $25 per day with the exception of Sportbike Track Time, which is $35 per day.

Q: How much is camping?

A: If your Track Day organizer offers a camping option, it can be purchased on-site upon arrival at $25 per day with the exception of Sportbike Track Time, which is $35 per day. Power hookups are available in the Paddock, but there are no water or sewer hookups available on-site.

Q: Are there other camping options besides the Paddock?

A: Upon request and subject to availability, you may be able to purchase camping in the upper hilltop area, but there are no power, water, or sewer hookups.

Q: When can we move in?

A: Move-in times vary for each track day. The official move-in time is 7:00 pm, but we often open early around 5:30 pm. For example, if Sportbike Track Time has the track reserved for Saturday and Sunday, move-in should take place around 5:30 or 6:00 pm on Friday night.

Q: How late is the Credential Building open?

A: Credential Building hours vary for each track day, but usually it stays open until 9:00pm.

Q: Can I come in early and watch the Porsche Driving Experience?
