Now that Round 1 at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway has come and gone, it's time to get ready for Round 2 at Buttonwillow Raceway Park on Sunday, April 8, 2012!

Having a successful 2011 season, Raceline USA will expand our activities to include more events for the 2012 season. More road courses, more challenges and more fun. It will be exciting as we introduce our new B+ Series, Club205, and R Challenge Series to challenge our clients that do not wish to spend a lot of money to compete with other drivers.

Open track is the easiest way to learn how to control your vehicle at the limit. Beginner driver should not be afraid of being on track with others on the road course. We have 5 run groups of varying skill level for our clients to feel safe and confident. As our clients hone in their abilities, they also have to opportunity to move up in levels. Each level is on the road course for 20 minutes a session and is rotated from Level 5 down to Level 1. There is plenty of track time for all to enjoy.

Drivers just run the course normally in our sessions and we take their best time throughout the day. No special run groups or qualifying time to meet. Just go out and do your best.
