Seriously, if it is a school and has a good lot, the way to possibly get an intro to the site is to discuss a two-day event where on the first day we provide some instruction and skill/challenge driving to students and on the second day we get to use the course.
There's a lot of interest in this type of approach to younger drivers and we can explain how we've worked with Nascar Institute.
And if you talk with them, make sure you get a mention in early about the fact that we would provide Insurance coverage cos if you don't mention that, it quickly becomes a factor that is used to close doors.
We have used the Lincolnton school on rte 73 before (can't remember if it was Middle or High school), so we have worked with schools in the past. (In case you're wondering, that lot is rather small for our event turnout nowadays and they have lot of construction going on).

also be sure to mention how providing an event like auto cross to kids, is a great way to keep them off the streets street racing! It all takes place in a safe and controlled environment.

sucks how i havent had the time to get over there to take pix and i live a mile and a half away...but yea, there is construction goin on, but it really wouldnt effect the spot in question, but u do bring up a good point of possibly not having enough room to park every1

This is a High School though. Doing a track day for them wouldn't be like doing one for NTI. Plus a lot of the Students there are not 18 wouldn't they have to have a form signed and notarized to be able to race?

If the Mazda RX8 has a rotary engine, does that mean the MX5 has a motory engine?

The Area Corvette Club ran a nice event at the abandoned Walmart in Shelby at the corner of Rt 74 and South Post Rd.
The tracks are still there to verify and that was in October.

It can be done in advance and is valid then for a year. Or, as autoxdad is now the Chairman, he could just adopt them all and be Dad for all of them... |
