Reno-Fernley Event
September 13-14, 2008

We're holding this great two-day American Racing Club/Northern California Racing Club event on the weekend of September 13-14 at Reno-Fernley outside Reno, Nevada. ARC will be running one race group. NCRC will be running two DE/Open Track groups at this event. For the lower speed DE groups, this event will be a street school with passing only in safe zones. The advanced groups will run with more open passing rules. No racing or aggressive driving will be allowed in the NCRC portion of the event. We'll be running Course Plan F both days.

For the NCRC folks, we'll have open track and driver's education sessions, as well as a Double Point Time Trial.

This event is open to all ARC/NCRC club members. So whether you're a beginner or advanced open tracker, or a racer, come join us for a day at the track! If you are a beginner, and expect to have instruction, please make sure to note it during your registration in advance of the track day as it is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

We will provide lunch for this event.

For the ARC racers, this will be the fourth and last race weekend of the 2008 season, and include one race per day. ARC Racers should register for the event at the ARC web site.

Preparation

See our Rules page for a list of NCRC rules, as well as our Reno-Fernley for more specific track configuration and local rules we'll be following for this event. Also note that you are responsible for the condition of you and your car, and should review the guidelines and tech requirements on our logistics

Schedule

Four Rungroups Doesn't Give You Enough Track-Time? Think Again:
Our schedule typically lists four run groups which we use to manage large differences of on-track speed and experience. If we don't fill a group, there's room for more drivers. We'll let drivers from the group above "run down" into that group if space is available. You'll have to follow the passing rules of the lower group, understand drivers in the lower run group probably have less experience/skill than you, so you'll need to drive accordingly. We don't guarantee you can get twice the track time at every event, but this format allows flexibility for drivers to get more track time than the schedule might suggest.

How this works: The scheduled run-session enters the hot pits and lines up along the right side of the hot pit for track entry (typically, some tracks may alternate). You're in the next group up, so you line up along the left side of the hot pits. After the regular run group has entered the track, you'll be allowed on track assuming car count limit is not reached.

Refunds

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 NCRC in the future. This is a generous policy among track clubs. All NCRC credits are held with us for two years before they expire, so you have plenty of time to use them.
