CARBS Thunder Alley 455 Driver/Crew Registration info on Apr 23, 2022 (569413) | MotorsportReg.com

VIntage to current era stock cars are invited to Rockingham Speedway for the 2022 CARBS series inaugural event.

UPDATE:  As of 4-12-2022 Saturday, April 23rd will transition to a non-spectator HPDE event with HPDE run session available on the Oval for stock cars. Sunday, April 24 will be available to all Thunder Alley 455 participants as a second day of HPDE track access.

*UPDATE* As of 4/10/2022 we have added a Display/Tribute/Street Legal entry for cars that are not eligible or suitable to run with the HPDE/Exhibition Race group.  Entry will include space for exhibiting your car, (unused CARBS garage spots will be available on a first registered, first claimed basis, there should be plenty to go around) and the opportunity for lower speed track lap sessions with 30-40 minutes of total track time available spread out between 9am and 3pm.

All on-track activity at CARBS officiated events unless otherwise co-sanctioned and presided over by an outside body (SGP/Flatheads/Allison Legacy etc.) will be considered High Performance Driver Education (HPDE) events for the participants.  As such, all participants will be expected to be in full control of their vehicles at all times and no official runs for "speed" will be allowed unless under official controlled conditions in a single-car environment with no overtaking.  Those situations would be considered as a "trackcross" solo activity.  During all multi-car sessions, drivers should always maintain a wide "margin of error" with their overall and especially corner speeds and car maneuvers.  All passing will be done either A: pre-arranged and signaled with a point or B: to the outside of a car that is signaling their intention to yield by maintaining a position in the lowest groove available on the track at a clearly lower speed.

Any drivers that have not had prior on-track experience will have to undergo basic training with M4theM instructors as part of their practice time.  All drivers that have never driven at a CARBS or M4theM event will have to perform a "check session" as a lead/follow with an M4theM instructor as part of their practice sessions.

Each car will receive a minimum of 4 Morning practice sessions, 1 10-12 minute shakedown, 3 15 minute practice sessions.
Each Car will be given an opportunity to participate in a single-car, 2 lap qualifying session where lap times will be recorded and recognition will be given.
Each Car will be allowed one after-qualifying "happy hour" practice session of 15 minutes.
Each car that has sufficient safety gear to participate will be given the opportunity to participate in a 30 lap mock race exhibition session where drivers simulate a race environment to a pre-planned and pre-determined outcome.
Each car that does not possess sufficient safety gear for open passing race conditions will receive an additional 20 minutes of practice conditions as an exhibition of their car for the fans in lieu of participating in the full exhibition mock-race.

All drivers and crew should be prepared to maintain a neat and orderly garage stall at all times.  Spectators will be invited to observe garage activity and when appropriate, verbally interact with drivers and crew as well as allow photo ops of driver/crew and car.  All interactions with fans should be kind and courteous and in a spirit that promotes fellow drivers and crews as well as M4theM/CARBS.  It will be the responsibility of each crew to assure spectators remain in appropriate areas of your garage stall.  They will be instructed where to approach cars/persons and how to interact.  If you observe someone acting outside the parameters we set, it is your responsibility to attract the attention of an M4theM garage steward to address the situation.
