American Racing Club

The American Racing Club (ARC) is eager to announce its  California racing series. A challenging drivers series California's best  tracks. Some of the top drivers will be pitted against each other under a unique format and clean racing rules. Rather than having a group of homogeneous cars run together classing will instead be closely matched drivers of various types of cars in the same class, all running roughly the same lap times.  Imagine a CMC car dicing with a Spec Miata, or a Ferrari Challenge 360 angling for a pass with a race-prepared Corvette.  Formula/SportsRacers will have their own class, separate from the Sedan classes to maximize safety and competition.

Don’t think for a second that this is going to be a ‘soft’ racing experience.  It’s going to be hugely competitive, laced with excitement and action, providing every bit of thrill any other series provides, and then some.  Drivers will be able to spend their time and dollar budget on tires or fuel instead of repairing car-contact damage.  Add to that a dollar credit awarded to you for the next race based on where you finished, offsetting some of the costs of racing.  Now those are a few reasons to race ARC.

ARC’s philosophy is to put racing back into club racing, by creating a safe but low overhead environment with practice, qualification, and two races in one day for each driver. You'll be able to cross-over from other racing series, without modifications to your car, while still being extremely competitive in the ARC.  Read on for details on how we license (certify) drivers, our classification and points system, the 2004 race calendar, our message board, and everything else you'll need to be a part of a new standard in club racing.

The American Racing Club is the parent organization to the Northern California Racing Club (NCRC), well known for safe, well organized, and trend-setting open-track/driver-education events.  Quickly growing, with more than 2000 members, the NCRC puts on more than 20 track days each year.  ARC will hold events in California, with plans to expand beyond California in 2005. If you would like to start an ARC chapter in your area, please contact us.

Where did ARC come from?

Founded in 2001 as the Northern California Racing Club, it started as a place where street car drivers could share track time in a safe and fun way. The club quickly grew into a thriving business with several hundred members, continuing to grow at a very rapid rate today. We’ve gone from one event in the first year, to nine events in 2002, to eighteen in 2003. Based on our projections, the demand for track days will be greater than sixteen events in 2004, and almost twice that in 2005. As club membership, reputation, and opportunities grew, the Northern California Racing Club (NCRC) has now become but one venture of the American Racing Club.
