Map And Directions ( Google Maps )

Overnight Parking and Camping
PKC has arranged for overnight parking of trailers, as well as overnight camping on site, starting Thursday afternoon, June 24th. Each reserved pit or RV spot is $30, and then overnight camping on site is a flat $50 for up to 3 nights. If you wish to reserve a pit spot for your trailer and/or an RV pit spot and camping for your RV/toy hauler, purchase them thru the online shopping kart, listing your top 3 choices for each spot (according to the pitmap). We will contact you to confirm your reservations and add you to the map.

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 Pit Space 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 $15 for a 1-day pass and $20 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 $25 for entrance to this event if arriving on Saturday, or a total of $30 if they arrive earlier.
