Community

ARC is built on it's members and the friendships we're all building at the track. As such, we have a variety of member benefits and a message board to keep us all in touch.

Membership

ARC membership is $40, and entitles you to register for all events the ARC or it's regional Driver's Ed/Open Tracking group NCRC holds. Memebership is good for one year. Attendance at events will be limited, so you'll need to sign up early. Use the Registration page to join the ARC.

Once you're registered, you'll receive official club information via email. We will not be maintaining a paper mailing list, so you must be accessible via email if you want to receive official notices about events, etc. If for some reason you think you haven't been receiving any notices, please send Dave a note and he'll check it out. Non-members are welcome to add their name to our mailing list for new events, though we open them to members a bit earlier than the general public.

Message Board

ARC's message board is the location to chat with other ARC and NCRC members, ask questions about upcoming events, and keep in touch with all the action! We also post official ARC communications on the board. It is also available for use by non-ARC members.

Member Appreciation Program

The American Racing Club recognizes there are many choices for racing events.  Racing-time versus down-time, excitement level, price, and other factors go into selecting which club you choose for your driving experience.  This club was founded to create a racing format that would meet these requirements, and put the excitement back into club racing. Member input has always been heard, we strive for consistent improvement, and are never satisfied with a rating of 'good enough.'  Honestly, we want to be the best.

We value our members, and want to show it.  Whether you're new to the club, or a long-term racer with us, we have some things will make your experience with the American Racing Club that much better.  The Member Appreciation Program is for you.

Member Referral

Get $50 off your next event by getting a new member to sign up and attend a race! Just have him or her write your name on the registration form.

Cancellation Policy

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.

Purchasing

AMB Timers

ARC is using AMB timing for all races. You will be able to rent a timer at the track, or you can purchase a hard-wired transponder through NCRC at their site.
