We’re adding something new to the weekly schedule: Practice Night, every Wednesday that isn’t Race Night. Two hours on track for a flat $40 — no matter how long you stay or how many people show up. No reservation needed; just walk in.

How It Works

Practice Night is exactly what it sounds like. The Race Night car and track are loaded and ready to run, but the sim is yours — practice any combo you want, for as many laps as you want. If there are enough people, we’ll set up qualifying sessions with a grid and a race.

  • Flat fee: $40 for the evening, same as Race Night
  • When: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, every Wednesday except Race Night
  • Where: The Braking Zone — 855 West 1st Avenue, Eugene
  • Booking: None needed — walk-ins only
  • Format: Open practice

One thing to be upfront about: the $40 buys you the evening, not a guaranteed number of minutes. We have a fixed number of rigs, so how much time you actually get on track depends on how many drivers turn up. A quiet Wednesday might mean nearly the whole two hours to yourself. A busy one means we rotate and run a grid. Either way, the price doesn’t change.

Race Night Preview

Starting this month, the car and track for Race Night are announced exclusively at Practice Night. That means the drivers who show up to practice get a genuine head start. They know the combo, they’ve run laps on it, and they’ve already found the braking points while everyone else is learning them during the 15-minute practice session on race day.

If you’ve been finishing mid-pack at Race Night and wondering what the front-runners know that you don’t, this is the answer. They’ve been practicing.

Who It’s For

Everyone. If you’re brand new and want to learn a circuit without an audience, Practice Night is the low-pressure way in. If you’re chasing a podium at Race Night or grinding out attempts at the monthly Hotlap Challenge, it’s cheap, repeatable seat time.

Members are welcome too — both the Tire Kicker and Unlimited memberships include access to weekly practice nights.

See You Wednesday

Practice Night needs no reservation, so just show up on a Wednesday and find out what we’re racing. Race Night is the one that fills up — RSVP for that here.
