Why
register
early?
Early Bird Registration is the smartest way to prepare for next season. When you register early, you'll:
» Spread registration costs over several months instead of paying everything during the holiday season.
» Lock in the lowest Race Series pricing.
» Personalized race plate (available only for registrations completed by December 31).
As soon as you register as an ACA coach, you’ll be emailed a link to start the background check process. Registering early gives you plenty of time to complete all coaching requirements before the season starts.
