Southern California, USA – As the Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association (CVMA) approaches its 7-round 2022-23 winter season; it has announced an expanded purse program totaling more than $165,000 over the four Sunday Shootout races and Saturday Femmewalla races.
The Chuckwalla facility is receiving major upgrades over the summer and will be better than ever for the season opener on September 25th. The racetrack, taxiway, and runway have undergone extensive asphalt repairs and are being completely resurfaced. In addition, taller bleachers have been added on both sides of the paddock for spectators, a much larger podium has been built between the classroom and the Parc Ferme tent, and the PA system has been upgraded significantly.
Also, 14 more RV parking spots with 50-amp power supplies have been added to the paddock to keep rigs cool and tires warm. The total number of powered RV spots that can be reserved prior to each CVMA event is now up to 22. Racers can get their spot for a single event or for the entire CVMA season by calling the Chuckwalla office at (760) 227-3100, or emailing info at chuckwalla.com.
The CVMA 2022-2023 Rulebook has been published, and for the first time ever, the ultra-competitive CVMA Sunday shootouts will include lightweight twins. All four of the Sunday Shootout races pay back to the fifth finishing position to incentivize and reward the fastest racers.

Kicking off September 25th, 2022, the seven-round CVMA series runs through April 2023. The three-day events include: Friday Practice, Saturday morning practice & qualifying, and a full schedule of racing on Saturday and Sunday.
