January – 2021

Hi NCRCers,

Time to turn up the competition! The 2021 Chrono series will bring a distinctive flavor of variety and challenges as it takes us across Northern California, featuring Sonoma Raceway, Thunderhill Raceway, Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca and Buttonwillow Raceway. Chrono 2021 will consist of 13 event days, with 11 of the highest scoring days counting to the points total.

There will be four classes:Chrono Classes

CO = Chrono Open, i.e. “supercars” or highly modified street cars

C1 = 7:1 AND fastest lap time Laguna 1:35, Sonoma 1:45, Thunderhill/Buttonwillow 13CW 1:55

C2 = 9.8:1 AND fastest lap time Laguna 1:41, Sonoma 1:51, Thunderhill/Buttonwillow 13CW 2:01
C3 = 13:1 AND fastest lap time Laguna 1:48, Sonoma 1:58, Thunderhill/Buttonwillow 13CW 2:08

Power to weight will be based off of factory horsepower/factory weight and maximum lap times. Small to medium modifications are allowed without a bump in class. All race cars will be bumped a minimum of one class. Two class bumps may be applied in cases of engine swaps or large horsepower/torque increases.
Chrono Event Prizes (Per Class, 4 competitors in class minimum, fastest time)

First place: $50 NCRC credit

Second place: $25 NCRC credit

Third place: $15 NCRC credit

First three places will also receive goodie bags from SPMotorsports.

Chrono Season Prizes (Per Class, minimum 8 days attendance, highest points)

First place: $1,000 NCRC credit

Second place: $500 NCRC credit

Third place: $250 NCRC credit

We have also partnered with SPMotorsports for a Chrono Grand Prize of an arrive and drive credit of $2000. Since we have four Chrono classes, the winner of each class will compete in a shootout during our December 4th and 5th event. Each class winner will be given one session in a to-be-determined SPMotorsports arrive and drive Porsche. The fastest time between the four class winners will take the grand prize.

MyLaps/AMB transponders are required. For this new season of Chrono we are providing transponder rentals at no additional charge to Chrono participants. However we do recommend purchasing your own MyLaps transponder, and if you have questions on which to purchase, please let us know and we will point you in the right direction.

As a reminder, on March 15th, the new helmet requirements come into effect. SA2010/M2010 and older helmets are no longer allowed. All helmets must be SA2015 or M2015 or FIA 8859-2015 or newer. All other certification types, including DOT-FMVSS 218 are NOT approved for use.

See you at the track,
