About this event
Whether you are racing in the ChampCar race at Dominion Raceway on the 14th and 15th, or getting prepared for races at other tracks, OR, are just an experienced track day guy/gal and are itch'n to get out on the track soon, get registered and get on track on March 13th, 2026!
As of right now, "The Plan" is for this event to have two Run Groups, LICENSED racers and ADVANCED level track day drivers only. The LICENSED group will have full open passing, and the ADVANCED group will require “point-bys” before a pass can take place.
If there are not enough registrants in any one group, these group classifications/rules may be modified, and/or the event may be opened-up to Intermediate level drivers.
This event is currently for closed-wheel / fender’d cars only, however if you have an open wheel car and are interested, email Jim.Lorimer@DominionRaceway.com.
The registration fees are as follow:
- 1 car with 1 driver: $325*
- Additional driver: $125*
- 1 car with unlimited drivers: $575*
*** $25 “EARLYBIRD” DISCOUNT FOR REGISTRATIONS BY 2/12/26!! ***
