Charlotte Night Race

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.

Works for me Steve. Don't worry about it. Just thinking about where the kids can hang out. They're 3 and 5 yrs old so they get bored easily.

I got a garage but now I'm wondering if being on the grass wouldn't be better.....

We managed to work out a test day on Friday. Full day is $250 and half day after 1:00pm is $150. Email [email protected] with your car and driver information to reserve a spot. You may pay cash or check at the track. Spots are on a first come basis. Also note we are about to capacity on the CCPS race Saturday night so if you plan to run you better enter now.
