Tracks

The Northern California Racing Club doesn't own a track (yet), but rents tracks for our members or other groups. We frequent the NorCal tracks Laguna Seca, Thunderhill and Buttonwillow. Each track has its own rules and differences which can effect how you prepare for the day. We've described some particular information for each track of the three road tracks, and we encourage you to also read any information at the track's web sites as well.

We run track events with a variety of run groups including traditional open track, driving school, racing, and time trials. Open track drivers will be separated by skill levels into novice, intermediate and advanced groups on track.

Passing rules will generally be more open in the faster groups, though we require safe passing in all groups. Any passing which doesn't follow the run group rules will set you up for a black flag, and flagrant violation of this or any NCRC rule is likely to get you booted out of the track for the day.

See the specific track pages for more details on each track and local rules.
