SCCA Track Night In America - Charlotte
 

If anyone is interested in a track day, the first track day I've found at Charlotte Motor Speedway is April 12th, SCCA's Track Night in America. Did it last year and it's awesome!

Looks like fun! What's the cost for something like this?

I would definitely be down to go. Coming from Wilmington.

I’m down!!! I use to work out of town all week so never had time to do much. Now I’m home every night so I can actually have some fun lol!!

It's $175 for 3, 20-minute sessions. Can choose Novice, Intermediate and Advanced levels and I have a code for a $25 discount if anyone is interested.

Looks like fun. I am going to try to attend one.

Can I run the Convertible?

I’m not positive. Check out the website, www.tracknightinamerica.com

Looks like no go... omg T-tops are ok even cars with glass roofs... what gives on that.....

Anyone done one before and what did you think about the quality of drivers that show up? I'm doing one near Austin for $125 with discount code, but it's 3-9pm on a Wednesday

You need to come to the Road Atlanta Track night on 4/25! I'll be there and another camaro6 member is bringing his hyper blue SS 1LE! We could get some killer Red, White, and Blue shots and chase around my buddy's GT350!

I haven't done anything like this. Do I need to get track insurance for an event like this? Do I also need to do the track prep outlined in the performance manual for the 1LE?

You don’t NEED Track insurance but it’s more piece of mind in case something does happen. I would do a track prep but again, up to you

I strongly recommend insurance. It isn’t always you, but other drivers and conditions that can cause a crash. Hagerty is a good go-to. About $200 for $40k.
