The upcoming July 18/19 CRC race will be a co-promotion with Rok Sonoma.

The upcoming July 18/19 CRC race will be a co-promotion with Rok Sonoma. That being said, Rok Sonoma and their staff will run the event, from registration and pit parking to race control and technical inspection. CRC will add the event results to our Championship results, but using the CRC points structure. All competitors will be scored as CRC entrants, not just the competitors that attended the PKRA race in June. The reasoning is that, as announced several months ago, the CRC is a best 3 of 4 championship, therefore racers who did not attend Phoenix can use it for a drop.

Rok Sonoma information can be found at www.sanzarukarting.com

Pit spot inquiries need to be sent to tavish@cameronkarting.com

Race registration will be handled by Rok Sonoma’s online registration system via MotorSports Reg. Rok Sonoma has a race over 4th of July weekend if you want to get in some extra racing. Online entries will begin next week for our combined event. We will post the link when it goes live.
FTK will be onsite at the event for event support, dealer tire sales and Rok engines and parts sales. All dealers need to pre-order practice tires by July 10th to insure proper supply.

The CRC staff will be back in action for round 3 on August 15/16 at CalSpeed Karting Center and the finale will return to Sonoma on September 12/13, for another co-promoted event where Champions will be crowned.

No host hotel for this event.
