X-post: Charlotte Motor Speedway Track Night - We Need More Drivers

[Accel Junky]

A non-profit group that I track with (JZilla Track Days) is branching out and trying to fill the roster for a Charlotte Motor Speedway "track night under the lights".

We are at 48 and need to hit 75 registered drivers to be able to secure the event (it will not happen if we don't get 75 registered). I've been asked to extend the invitation beyond the normal local Georgia JZilla crowd. You need to be experienced with track days (at least intermediate in other words) for this particular event.

It's a great group of guys, no heroes just good folks with a diverse choice of cars that like to get a handful of track days in every year and James Marcellana (namesake of JZilla) always donates the excess from events to charities and involves drivers in charitable causes. We typically do AMP, Road Atlanta a few times per year because they are local to us but he is branching is out once or twice per year now to some tracks we haven't done.

Info on the event:

Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course
Saturday, July 29 at 11 AM - 10 PM
Price: $400

"This event happens rain or shine. If you have a convertible, you must have a roll bar or a pop up bar like on the BMW or aftermarket hard dog or boss frogs in Miatas. You may not run slicks or R-compounds unless you have a Hardtop and roll bar on a convertible."

Insurance will be available through Lockton.

Please put in the reg notes that you saw this on the forum post from Daniel so that James knows where you came from and who you are.

Feel free to ask me any questions.

My understanding is that there will be some kind of bus-stop or cone setup interrupting the oval to keep the speeds tamped down a little.

Booo

Totally reasonable, otherwise speeds would likely be ridiculous for even moderate HP cars.

I've registered, hope it works out.

Awesome, hope to see you there! Yes, so latest news is we have 63 registered which is enough to go forward but James is just waiting to get everyone's checks in the mail before he commits to the venue.

Excellent news. I was registered for a PCA event at Charlotte motor speedway last year but it was cancelled due to lack of participants. It's tough with so much competition for events but I've never run Charlotte and think it should be fun.
