The 2016 HFF Challenge season kicked off with Round 1 at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway on March 20th. The cool temperatures in the morning made for great conditions for drivers to set quick laps in the early sessions. However, with the track located about 75 miles east of Palm Springs, the temperatures climbed into the 90s resulting slower times in the later sessions.

HFF Challenge is hosted by Speed Ventures and their is goal is to provide well-run and fun events for automobiles on professional road racing circuits and safety is the priority. They can help drivers with no experience to hit the track and find out what their car can do.
Round 2 Recap
The second HFF Challenge event of the year was held April 9th at Buttonwillow Raceway. A poor weather forecast in the week leading up to the event left many people hesitant to register due to the weather. Unfortunately the forecast called for certain rain and most drivers chose to avoid the poor conditions. For those that did attend, they were pleasantly surprised to find only damp morning conditions that quickly dried and allowed for multiple drivers to set their Buttonwillow personal best times.
