1. Season Pass to Donor Membership Upgrade

If you are a Season Pass member and would like to upgrade to a Donor membership, CRCA will now deduct your Season Pass membership ($100).

This means Donor membership is only $500 for current Season Pass members.

Furthermore, if you upgrade and have already marshalled, your marshal credits will be carried over to next year.

Please contact communications[at]crca.net to request an upgrade or for any questions.

2. Season Pass Waivers

We will no longer be accepting Season Pass waivers at races.

If you are a Season Pass member and have not yet submitted a season waiver, please submit one by e-mail prior to racing.

Instructions on how to do so are available at http://archive.crca.net/racing/eventwaivers/, under the “2016 Season Pass Waiver” section.

If you don’t remember whether your waiver was submitted and accepted, please refer to the April 16 roster, available at: http://archive.crca.net/wp-content/uploads/crca-roster-2016-april-16-final-B.pdf.

If your name is highlighted in purple on the roster, you must submit a season waiver prior to racing.

For any questions, please e-mail communications[at]crca.net.
