April 19-20, 2008 Buttonwillow Race

The American Racing Club will hold two races at at Buttonwillow Raceway this weekend. It'll be a full weekend event, with practice , qualifying and race sessions both days, and will be held as a single run group combined with NCRC's DE/Open Track event. We'll be running configuration #1, counter-clockwise. We are also sharing the date with TRCA, who will bring their own racers to race with us. So be prepared for some good competition!

Lunch will be provided both days.

Crucial to logistics is that all racers must have ARC certifications before the event. So take a look through the "Getting Started" page, and get rolling.

Schedule

Registration

Drivers new to ARC should check the requirements before registering, and ensure they will have a certificate by race day.

We are currently accepting sign-ups for this event on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $160 for one day, $320 for the weekend for members. Non-members add $10 per day. For an extra $50 per day, you can also drive in the NCRC Open Track sessions. This is an early-bird price, which is good through March 29.

Refunds

As of Feb 1, 2006, we've modified our cancellation policy as follows. If you cancel two weeks before the event, we give a full refund. Within two weeks of the event, we credit half of your event payment to a future event, but as of 48 hours before the day the event begins there are NO refunds or credits given. This includes multiple day events, even if your car breaks the morning of day one. We'll feel bad for you since we truly want you to enjoy what you paid for. However, we must cover the costs of the event that are fully committed once the event starts, or there won't be an ARC in the future. This is a generous policy among track clubs. All ARC credits are held with us for two years before they expire, so you have plenty of time to use them.

Rain is typically handled by the track itself, not by ARC. Typical policy is that the track holds the event, rain or shine, unless there is an unsafe condition or damage at the track. If the event is cancelled due to rain, ARC will refund whatever portion of the total costs we can recoup.
