Open Track day Event at ORP- July 27

General registration is now open for the second Palatov Motorsport Club track day at ORP.

This is a new facility and a very technical track. The event is open to INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED drivers/riders only. Registration is limited to a total of 50 participants (30 cars and 20 bikes). The emphasis of this event is on maximizing tracktime. Bring plenty of gas!

The event is open to both CARS and MOTORCYCLES - there will be two run groups for cars and one for bikes (cars and bikes will not be on the track at the same time). We anticipate 6-7 sessions for each run group. Registration is per driver/rider. Participants can bring as many cars and/or bikes as they can haul and can run in more than one group (all cars and bikes must pass tech!). Race cars are welcome. Cost will be $200 per vehicle.

We will hold a Palatov Motorsport club member only online vote to determine if we want a course change (clockwise vs. counter clockwise). Log in here to vote: http://www.palatov.com/club.html

Barriers Around Turn Stations

"Jersey" barriers have been placed around the base of each elevated turn station.

Barriers Along Pit In

Here are some of the hundreds of barriers that have been placed along the hot pits and the main straight.

June Construction Update

Some exciting things are happening in Grass Valley!

Many updates and new safety features are being added to ORP this summer.

Hundreds of "Jersey" barriers have been added along the main straight, and between the hot pits and the main paddock.

Barriers have been set around the bases of all the elevated turn stations.

FIA curbing is being installed at each turn, and will soon be painted.

Grass has been planted around the periphery of the track to reduce dust and dirt from getting on the track.

Be sure to check our calendar to see when your favorite club or group is holding an event at ORP, and come on out and see what we have been up to.

Construction and Improvement Update

ORP has been undergoing a lot of exciting changes this spring. Come on out to an event and see what we have been up to.

First, there is the addition of new office/meeting spaces. Two 10X30 foot mobile trailers have been placed in the main paddock area. These mobile structures will be available for drivers meetings, registration, and other uses.

Second, the installation of raised turn stations has been completed. These structures provide unobstructed views for turn workers and event support personnel over the entire course. The addition of these structures will greatly improve communications with drivers during events.

New cement barriers have been placed between the hot pits and the main straightaway, along with perimeter fencing around the main paddock to improve safety.

Also, a new ABM timing system has been installed.

Keep watching this web site for more exciting developments.
