June 21-22, 2008 Thunderhill Raceway Park

Phil Crandall

All of us who've been to Thunderhill have been greeted in the early morning by Phil Crandall, as he collected our signature at the front gate, told a quick quip about the weather or going's on at the track, and wished us a good event. Phil passed away a couple months ago, from a heart attack and will be surely missed. He was a part of Elmer Shannon's race team, and Elmer is sponsoring the ARC race trophies and associated events on Saturday, in memory of Phil.

The American Racing Club will hold two races at at Thunderhill Park for this event. It'll be a weekend event, with a practice, qualifying and race both days, and will be held as a single run group combined with NCRC's DE/Open Track event.

Lunch will be provided.

Crucial to logistics is that all racers must have ARC certifications before the event. So take a look through the "Getting Started" page, and get rolling.

Schedule

Registration

Drivers new to ARC should check the requirements before registering, and ensure they will have a certificate by race day.

We are currently accepting sign-ups for this event on a first-come, first-served basis. The cost is $255 for one day, $475 for the weekend for members. Non-members add $10 per day. For an extra $50 per day, you can also drive in the NCRC Open Track sessions.

Refunds

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.

Rain is typically handled by the track itself, not by ARC. Typical policy is that the track holds the event, rain or shine, unless there is an unsafe condition or damage at the track. If the event is cancelled due to rain, ARC will refund whatever portion of the total costs we can recoup.
