CRA Round 1: Buttonwillow [Config 13]
Information
Welcome to Round 1 of CRA at Buttonwillow Raceway Park! We are excited to have you all join us for some amazing racing at our home racetrack.
For those of you who are new to our club, below is a brief rundown of what to expect at Round 1.
Registration
Friendly reminder that pre-registration closes at midnight February 8th (Wednesday). Please Pre-Register and avoid the $45 post registration fee. If you have trouble signing up, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. If you are track side and would like to sign up for the races, check in with our registration office located in the BRP tower, 2nd floor.
Registration for Round 1 is open <HERE>
Tech Inspection
Pre-Registered riders will go straight to Tech Inspection with your motorcycle.
For the racers that opted in for the Premier Tech option, our team will come to you! We do require you to check in with our tech inspection team (separate line) to obtain a glow stick that needs to be hung on your motorcycle handlebar. This will assist our staff in locating you. However, due to the sheer size of the paddock, you may be sent an SMS message to locate you and your pit area so keep those cell phones close by.
