The American Racing Club (ARC) kicks off its first season of racing this weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Southern California. The ARC is the parent sanctioning body of the Northern California Racing Club (NCRC) and its highly successful driver education and “Track Day” event format.

The American Racing Club (ARC) kicked off its series debut this past weekend at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, resulting in a massive success for the organization and competitors.  The ARC’s unique format of providing as much track time as possible served to wear out many of the racers: “Between the 45 minute practice and qualification each morning, and the two 30 minute races each day, I ended up with over 3 hours of driving and racing this weekend. I’m exhausted!” noted Sedan A race winner Luc Noel.

The American Racing Club (ARC) and Radical West Racing are proud to announce the formation of the 2004 ARC Radical West Cup, set to take place at the 4 remaining ARC events within California this year.

ARC co-founders Troy Allison and Dave Mills, both Radical owners and Radical racers, have been working for months with Radical West owner John Morris to design a series dedicated for Radical owners and drivers. Allison noted: "Since I first bought my Radical SR3, the best racing I have found has been against other Radical racers. As the ranks of Radicals have continued to grow within the ARC, it only made sense to form an official partnership with John Morris of Radical West to launch a Western U.S. Radical series."
