Charlotte Night Race

[seckerich]

CMS does not have motorhome power hookups inside the track. Camping is allowed and there are showers inside turn 4. Motorhome hookups are available at the Zmax drag strip outside the track. Look up a few posts for the links to infield map and tunnel location. ITS is looking like a big group.

ITS is looking like a big group.

Ten ITS cars are now signed up and the list is missing some regulars who'll show and no MARRS guys are signed up at all. I'm sure Chuck H, Steve P, Ed P, and a few more will join in. Might be 20+ ITS cars for the event.

Steve,
The tunnel on the back straight is large enough for tractor trailers and motorhomes? Last time I was there, the tunnel didn't exist and we had to cross the back straight at end of day to get to the infield with large rigs.

It is big enough for 2 tractor trailers to pass now. Full access all day. The place has changed a lot.

Ok, I'm in. Looks like the 944,won't be fixed so I'm bringing the Nissan. Some Qs for y'all:

- where are people staying?

- what's this track like for spectators? The family wants to come, but is there a decent place to watch the racing? I assume spectators are allowed in the infield?

Looking forward to this one!!!

Surprisingly not many MARRS entries but the ITS race is shaping up well. The number of different types of cars is encouraging:

GSR, RX7s, TR8, 300zxs, 911, Mustangs, 280Z, 260Z, MB 190E, BMW 325, and Miatas.

Ten different chassis/platforms and ten different engine types (be more but for the 240/260/280 essentially being the same). We've got rotards, high revvers, low revvers, and things in between. It is hard to know what the most favorable car will be.

Should be a blast!

Steve will have to chime in but the track used to allow spectators in the stands on the front straight.

Last time I was there (admitidly mid '90s) I had may Winnebago parked in the infield by turn three and four. My son called the whole race and every turn to me on the radio from the roof of the motorhome.

Sorry for slow response, on vacation!!

There is a new observation deck over the pit road that shoud be high enough to see the entire track. We were promised access for the weekend. I can check but it will most likely be OK to go around track and sit in stands. This is a spectator event (all SCCA are now) so guests that will not be in hot area are welcome no charge with track waiver signature. Need to be SCCA member and sign our waiver to receive everything else.
