Compared to Buttonwillow:

Different:
- The track has less looooong straights in it. I consider that a plus.
- The pavement is way smoother. No patchwork.
- There is an actual bowl (incline) rather than just a long tire shredding turn.
- The facilities at CW are very limited. There's the track, a gas pump, paddocks pavement (no shade) and a trailer with bathrooms (not outhouses). That's about it.
- There is no timing facility at CW. Bring a stopwatch.

Same:
- There's very little punishment on either track, but I'd say there's even less at Chuckwalla.
- There is a twist that goes over a crest at Chuckwalla and it is very similar to Buttonwillow's turns "Cotton Corner" and "Grapevine".
- In the middle of nowhere.
