VENUE INFORMATIONButtonwillow Raceway Park24551 Lerdo Highway Buttonwillow, CA 93206 (661) 764-5333 Normal office hours are 7am to 5pm. Call for track availability and open practice times/prices. http://buttonwillowraceway.com/ NOTE: Practice will not be allowed on Thursday, January 30th, due to the move-in of trailers and other vehicles that will inhibit karts safely pulling in and out of the grid. Map And Directions ( Google Maps ) Overnight Parking and Camping PKC has arranged for overnight parking of trailers, as well as overnight camping on site, starting Thursday afternoon, January 30th. Each reserved pit spot is $30; if you are camping overnight the spot is $50 as a flat fee for up to 3 total nights. If you wish to reserve a pit spot for your trailer, click here. For an RV pit spot or camping for your toy hauler, purchase it here. Be sure to list your top 3 choices for each pit or camping spot. We will contact you to confirm your reservations and add you to the map. Pit Vehicles Although PKC prefers to disallow the use of motorized vehicles in order to avoid unnecessary accidents in the pits, this facility does allow motorized vehicles on their premises. However, PKC reserves the right to confiscate any vehicles, motorized or otherwise, that are being unsafely used anywhere on the kart track premises. Pets On Premises Dogs are allowed on the kart track premises, but must be kept on a leash at all times. Air Boxes and Silencers For all motos, the silencer is open spec and air boxes are not required at this event. Reserved and Unreserved Pit Spaces An unreserved pit space is included at no charge with your race entry. However, the location of unreserved spaces is determined on a first arrive, first serve basis with no ability to choose a location or pit neighbor. As a result, you could arrive at “dark-30″ on Friday morning and still be a football field from the pre-grid or worse yet, you can’t get to the event until Saturday. Therefore, we have provided the ability to pre-reserve a pit space(s). In this manner, you choose the space you want now and that space will be available whenever you arrive. There is labor required to administrate pit space reservations, so a cost is involved. However, you will hopefully view the nominal $30/space charge as well worth it. Reservation Instructions Team Managers with block requests or those that need an irregular sized pit space, should call (951) 491-0808. Reserve your Pit Space now in the Online Store. Spectator Tickets 1 and 2 day spectator passes are available through the online store and at the track throughout each event. These passes include pit access, thus enriching the spectator experience through up close contact with the drivers and crew. Prices are $15 for a 1-day pass and $20 for a 2-day pass. Kids 5 and under are FREE, but everyone must sign an insurance waiver. NOTE: The Buttonwillow facility charges ALL attendees (drivers, crew, team owners, and spectators) a $10 GATE FEE at the front entrance to the property. This is in addition to the Pit Pass charges that PKC requires for their insurance at the kart track. Please inform your guests that they will have to pay a total of $25 for entrance to this event if arriving on Saturday, or a total of $30 if they arrive earlier.
