Car show participants: Make sure your car does not have significant leaks. Car Clubs that have 12 or more cars registered can contact the organizer to have a private corral reserved free of charge. Jeeps have a large area already reserved but we can divide it into sections for clubs to stay together as desired. All other solo car show participants will be first come first serve for car show spots. All cars MUST back in on grass with ALL of the car completely off the pavement. If you tow in or camp the night before, all trailers, trucks, and camping gear must be IN LINE behind your show car if you are in a space that allows such or kept in the assigned support vehicle parking area. Pop-up tents can be no more than 2 feet onto the pavement. The soil is grassy and sandy, mud will not be an issue as long as we stay right on the edge of the pavement. STRICT 5mph speed limit inside speedway and show area. Car Show participants that are present with a club and purchase track laps will be escorted to the track lap area as a group so they may "parade" through the show grounds as a unit safely and enjoy driving the track together.
Track lap expectations: These laps will NOT be slow pace laps. They will go as fast as the group can safely stay together. NO LAYBACKS to go fast on the straights. We will remove you from the track if you lay back in the corners and floor it on the straights. You can go fast in a straight line anywhere, you do not get the chance to go up to 75-80 in 28 degree banked corners. Enjoy the g forces of the corners. There is a drag strip across the street if you are looking to go fast on straightaways. That said, we find most cars end up following the pace car between 50-80 mph depending on the car and driver. We will attempt to group cars by car type and speed preference.
Folks that want to go faster, we will try to group together. Folks that just want a touring type cruise, we will attempt to put together for their laps. Regardless of group type, all cars must stay reasonably evenly spaced at 3-5 car lengths max or we slow down the pace car to bunch us back up. Laying back slows the whole group down.
We promise will not intentionally stick your modern Camaro/Mustang/Challenger/Corvette etc. out on the track behind a timid minivan driver going 50, we will do all we can to put you with other cars and drivers of your type that express interest and ability to maintain fast interstate speeds. We can run the grocery getters together afterward.
No helmets are required in street cars but we urge you to wear one if your vehicle has roll bars or a single roll hoop installed.
