Join us on Saturday, October 9th 2022 for the VCMC Track Day #5 at Ridge Motorsports Park
VCMC continues to offer great value to track day participants by providing tons of seat time, and professional track marshals to keep the event safe, fun, and efficient.
Our track events are open to drivers of various experience levels. Drivers are grouped by experience to ensure that all the drivers and vehicles in each session are evenly matched.
If you are new to track lapping and want to attend we will require you to register and complete one of our Mission lapping days PRIOR to this event and become signed off to drive solo. If you have not driven with VCMC before, exceptions can be made with proof of experience. Prior track experience is MANDATORY for this event as instruction is not provided or sanctioned.
