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 has changed 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 as this 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!


Pre-entry is NOW OPEN. Pre-entry closes THURSDAY, October 6th at 11:59pm. Please see the following link to pre-enter:
