We are trying to get the word out about the changes at CMP and test day opportunities before the February national. Was hoping you could send out an email to your faithful following.
We are as of today in the middle of paving the revised turns 12-13 and 14 of the track. 12 and 13 are completely new and should be significantly faster and answer the criticisms of the track being too tight and hard on brakes. Turn 14 has been revised by adding 16 feet to the inside of the corner, making the corner radius larger, read faster. You can access a new track map on our website, www.carolinamotorsportspark.com. In addition to the new sections, we are repaving all of the racing line on the rest of the corners on the existing track, giving effectively a new surface where it matters.
Several other things are new. Just finished paving on a new 200 foot diameter, 50 foot wide, wet or dry skid pad. It will be available for rent wet or dry by the hour, half day, or day.
24 day garages are under construction now. Each space is 15 x 25 covered concrete space, with 2 dedicated 20 amp 110v circuits per bay. Rates are $75/ day or $200 for the 3 day weekend. Reservations are being accepted for any date in 2008 now. Form is on the website for reservations.
Over 1200 feet of paddock roads have been paved as well, including the front road that runs parallel to the pit lane.
Pictures of all the above on the website.
We now take credit cards for both race fuel and test day fees.
We are scheduled to reopen with all of the above facilities up and running on February 2-3 which is a Palmetto Motorsports Club weekend and Turn One Track Days event. It will be available to any one that wants to participate drivers ed or race. Members run free, others are $190 two weeks before the date $ 225 at the gate. Drivers ed is higher for instructor cost.
We also are having three test days before the SCCA national. Wednesday and Thursday are semi private testing, 10 cars each, open and closed wheel, 30 minute sessions, $500 each day. Friday is the standard prerace test day. Again $190 two weeks in advance, $225 at the gate.
