ATTENTION BRIGGS LO206 RACERS: Come race in the new Formula 206 LO206 Senior class within the SoCal Championship, specifically for Briggs LO206 racers.  For this event, F206 is offering special race day pricing to all F206 racers.  All racers who are new to F206 will pay the member pre-entry price for race entry if LO206 is the only class they are registering or, if registering for multiple classes, the LO206 class can be added as an additional class to any Non-Member Entry Fee for only $1.  Along with this, the additional class entry fee for member pre-entry is now only $1!  So if you're an F100 Member and you have an F100 and an LO206 kart, bring both to the track and race in two classes for a great price!  And F206 racers can also utilize the "first time racer discount" to save even more!  The "first time racer discount" is an account credit applied to the racers Motorsportreg account after the race to be used towards paying fees for a future event.  This makes racing two classes with F100 easier and more affordable than ever!  For more information on the Formula 206 classes please see the following link:



We have had quite a few LO206 racers express interest in attending this event and future events throughout the 2017 season, and we expect a solid turnout of LO206 racers.  If you have an LO206 powered kart, come and race with F100 and F-206!  Please see the link below for more information about our LO206 incentives, new discounts available to all F100 and F-206 racers who are new to F100 and F-206, our new "additional class entry" pricing, and the possible addition of an LO206 Junior class:



CLASS CONSOLIDATION: F100 has removed FK2 Clubman, SKC Shifter Open and FK125 TaG Masters from our class structure, at least temporarily, due to lack of interest. These classes may be added back at a future time if demand is sufficient.
