What's New

Napa Valley Wine Train Test and Tune

October 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025

Confirmed

MOW offers a Mentoring Program for new operators. This is also an opportunity to Test and Tune and Troubleshoot your car, and/or just run it, if you haven't had it out in a while. There is a 5-mile round-trip section of track we can use for this in the Napa Yard. 

This is by appointment only. To schedule a date and receive all the details, contact Glenn Boatman (925) 289-6423 or Carl Shellhorn (707) 695-9722.

The fee is $25.
