Area Tracks

The Southern Arizona Region of PCA has access to multiple nearby tracks. Here's a short note about of each of those, along with links to full descriptions including photos, track maps and some video. Below, you will find the links to other tracks in the area.

These events provide multiple-lap practice sessions that precede the competition part of the day. Instructors are provided for novice drivers and available to others. Speeds are generally lower and the focus is on a safe learning environment and end-of-the-day lap times for recording student progress from event to event.

• Musselman Honda Circuit (MHC) is a local Kart track that suits our needs very well. Only 0.8 Miles in length but has the right mix of corners, some elevation changes and is lighted for nighttime use.
  
  
  
• Pinal Air Park is a 1.2 mile road course that is safe and exciting. Even if you don't want to drive your car on the track, we can always use help in running the events, so come on out.
  
  
  
• Central Arizona College (CAC) near Casa Grande, AZ. This 0.75-mile long track is within easy reach of both Tucson and the greater Phoenix area. It is noted for the variety of corner types, the differences in the linkages between them, and it's smooth surface.
  
  
  

These two-day events provide maximum driving experience, lots of laps and plenty of instruction for novice, intermediate and even advanced drivers. In general, the speeds are higher than those found at our Driver Education Style Autocross events. Lap times are not recorded at DE events. These events are the best way to learn high-performance driving.

• Arroyo Seco Raceway (ASR) in Deming, NM. is a long-time favorite of our group. It's 1.4 miles long has 14 corners and provides plenty of challenges for our cars. We run the course in one direction on the first day and the other on the second.
  
  
  
• Inde Motorsports Ranch (INDE or IMR) in Willcox, AZ. At 2.75 miles in length, with 21 corners and 240-feet of cumulative elevation changes, this is a great facility. An all new, clean and fast track that allows you to stretch your car and yourself. This is quite possibly the safest track we use.
  
  
  

In addition to our primary activities, we occasionally hold Car Control Clinics in the parking lot of our local drag strip, Southwest International Raceway (SIR). We are constantly looking for new venues for this important event. Check the front page of our website under Upcoming Events, for announcements about all of the above listed activities.

We occasionally organize trips to other clubs' events, such as the Arizona Border Region of SCCA autocross, Sierra Vista Sports Car Club's (SSCC) autocross at Fort Huachuca, and other venues. The Arizona Region PCA also holds Driver education events at Firebird International Raceway (FIR) in Chandler AZ where there are three different courses. Occasionally, Arizona Region PCA events are held at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) which is also located in the Phoenix area.

If you haven't been out to one of these events, come and find out why Porsche handling is so famous, and meet other Porsche enthusiasts who are enjoying their cars in thrilling ways.

There are several great places around Southern Arizona to enjoy your car's handling and speed. Also check our calendar for track schedule information.
