Register for an Event
We're pleased to present our 2013 event schedule. You can register for any event directly from this page. Please note that our events have been filling about a month early. All prices listed below are member prices; non-member prices are $10 more per track day.
Please make sure you can participate at the event you're registering for! Novice drivers (ie, new to driving on a road course) must sign up for the driving school or pay for an instructor, and we don't have a school at every event. Similarly, Chrono Series and ARC Race days are not at every event either. Check the colored "status" dots down the right-hand side of this page.
2013 Chrono Series
Unfortunately we weren't able to get the season entries required to do the full Chrono Series format this year. Instead, we'll run the Chrono Series timed laps mixed in with the Open and Point-By groups (since we allow both Open and Point-By drivers to participate in Chrono), and let the entrants start at the front of the grid at the beginning of the session. This will allow you to get a couple clean laps in before getting caught up with all the regular open trackers. Rules in these groups will remain *open track* though - they won't become race groups, or groups where aggressive driving is tolerated.
So that's what we'll be doing for the 2013 season - Chrono Series, but imbedded within the two open track groups. You'll see the registrations are open for Chrono "...on any Sunday." For more information about the Chrono Series, please visit the Chrono Series website.
AIM Tire Spec Miata Challenge
ARC is holding a Northern California race series for Spec Miata - the AIM Tire Spec Miata Challenge during its regular 2013 season. This series will have four weekend events, three at Thunderhill and one at Laguna Seca. The season winner will receive a set of Toyo RR race tires, courtesy of AIM tires, and second place will receive a race weekend.
