We do not know what Sonoma County may require for August 1 and 2 in terms of numbers of cars on track, drivers at the event, paddock spacing, garage usage or other issues because this is all very fluid. Nor Cal SAAC may be required by Sonoma County to revise any specifications for the event up to and including cancelling the event. Any required limitations by Sonoma County will be administered on a first come, first served basis and appropriate refunds will be made through MotorSportsReg.com.
No refunds for cancellations received within 14 days of the start of the event. Cancellations prior to the cutoff date will be issued less 5% processing fee. This event will take place rain or shine!
