Entries after this cut-off will have to be submitted at the event (starting Friday morning) at walk-up pricing. See pricing below. All race pre-entries will be confirmed via email within 1 business day of receipt at the SKUSA home office. If you do not receive an email confirmation within 24 hours, please call ProKart at 951-491-0808 to confirm that your entry has been received and is in process.

Pre-Entry is now CLOSED for this event.  Anyone wanting to register for the race or Friday's practice will have to sign-up at the track on Friday starting at 7:00am or Saturday starting at 6:30am.

Overnight Parking and Camping
PKC has arranged overnight parking of trailers on Thursday 2-7pm, and all day Friday and Saturday. We have also arranged overnight camping at $50/spot starting Thursday night. PKC will be collecting at the track for the overnight camping. If you wish to reserve a pit spot for your trailer and/or RV, purchase 1 or more spots thru the online shopping kart. The pit layout will be available shortly, and PKC will contact those that have paid on a first come-first served basis to choose their pit spots. 

Pit Vehicles
Although PKC prefers to disallow the use of motorized vehicles in order to avoid unnecessary accidents in the pits, this facility does allow motorized vehicles on their premises. However, PKC reserves the right to confiscate any vehicles, motorized or otherwise, that are being unsafely used anywhere on the kart track premises.
 
Pets On Premises
Dogs are allowed on the kart track premises, but must be kept on a leash at all times.

Air Boxes and Silencers
For all motos, the silencer is open spec and air boxes are not required at this event.

Reserved and Unreserved Pit Spaces
An unreserved pit space is included at no charge with your race entry.  However, the location of unreserved spaces is determined on a first arrive, first serve basis with no ability to choose a location or pit neighbor.  As a result, you could arrive at “dark-30″ on Friday morning and still be a football field from the pre-grid or worse yet, you can’t get to the event until Saturday.  Therefore, we have provided the ability to pre-reserve a pit space(s).  In this manner, you choose the space you want now and that space will be available whenever you arrive.  There is labor required to administrate pit space reservations, so a cost is involved.  However, you will hopefully view the nominal $30/space charge as well worth it.
 
Reservation Instructions
Team Managers with block requests or those that need an irregular sized pit space, should call (951) 491-0808.
Reserve your PitSpace now in the Online Store.

Spectator Tickets
1 and 2 day spectator passes are available through the online store and at the track throughout each event. These passes include pit access, thus enriching the spectator experience through up close contact with the drivers and crew. Prices are $10 for a 1-day pass and $15 for a 2-day pass. Kids 5 and under are FREE, but everyone must sign an insurance waiver.

NOTE: The Buttonwillow facility charges ALL attendees (drivers, crew, team owners, and spectators) a $10 GATE FEE at the front entrance to the property. This is in addition to the Pit Pass charges that PKC requires for their insurance at the kart track. Please inform your guests that they will have to pay a total of $20 for entrance to this event.
