    Thumbs up NCRC track day March 22nd Monday

    Dear Drivers,
    A lot of you have asked us why we haven’t opened our Buttonwillow events yet, and why we have so few days at Thunderhill compared to prior years. Here is an update.
    Thunderhill: Due to a serious business dispute that we have with the track, Thunderhill has cancelled all our events. We have retained the services of an attorney and a complaint will be filed against the track in the next few days. Once the lawsuit is filed we will be able to give you a lot more information.
    Buttonwillow: The March 22 event is cancelled, for now we are only opening the two weekends. We will be able to give you more information regarding the single-day events very soon.
    We will refund the event payments for the cancelled events over the next week. If you have any questions regarding your NCRC membership or annual tech payments, please contact us.

    Why do you guys always pick a date I can't do? 3/21 is my wife & I anniversary. We always spend it at Cayucos. It's bad enough I have to miss an autocross, but a track day too?!

    Sorry Ron

    I am sure this is not going to be the only track day we go to

    You pick a second date Ron for a track day to follow this one.

    Is this the same date for the $49 first time w/ NCRC event. If so, I may come out. A little shakedown/warm-up before the April 10-11 @ MRLS event is just what is needed.

    YES this is the $49 day for those who have not run with NCRC before. The only downside is it is on Monday

    Must wait until the semester begins. Looks like a nice turnout will evolve here .
