F100 SoCal Round #5 is SATURDAY, JULY 2nd at Calspeed in Fontana, CA! BE THERE!

The points battles are heating up as the 2016 F100 SoCal passes the midway point at F100 SoCal Round #5, to be held Saturday, July 2nd at Calspeed Karting Center in Fontana, CA! This is a very exciting event for F100, as it is the first stand-alone event F100 has held at the Calspeed facility! F100 expects another large turnout in the traditional F100 Senior and Masters classes, as well as continued growth in all the other F100 classes. You don't want to miss it!

Please note that in order to help cover the higher cost associated with hosting a race at a facility such as Calspeed, F100 has added a few dollars to the price of race day entry and pit passes. We do our absolute best to keep prices as low as possible and with large turnouts and continued support we will be able to continue to lower costs and make racing as affordable and accessible as possible for our racers. We greatly appreciate your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

CHANGES TO PRE-ENTRY PROCESS FOR MEMBERS: In order to help F100 better prepare for events by providing more accurate and predictive entry numbers, F100 is also changing the registration policy for F100 Members. The discounted member entry price will now ONLY be available through PRE-ENTRY. All racers registering on race day will now pay the same price, regardless of their F100 membership status. This is not done as a punishment, but instead to encourage racers to pre-enter for events which will help F100 greatly in its hiring of race day staff, race day scheduling, and all the other things that go into putting on a top notch racing event for our racers!

Please see the following link for directions to the track:
