Is there any chance at taking a pass or 2 on the drag strip?

"We charge $15 for a weekend membership. They will need to sign up for the weekend membership on site Friday night."

Will they close the gates and kick us off the site at some point? Or will the course be open for walking past 7 PM on Friday?

We should be able to walk to whenever. I will look at the contract when I get home and repost on the time we have to be off site, but I think that is pretty late.

Good deal. I won't be able to take off work after taking off the Friday before for Wilmington and will be lucky to get there before 7, so no point driving up if I can't walk course or anything.

The contract says all activities must be complete by 1 am, so we have a good deal of time to be able to walk the course.

Is this going to be a one day or two day thing? If I get in I plan on driving to it on the day of it.

IIRC, local points are for Saturday's runs only.

I believe it was stated earlier that both days would count for local points. Please confirm, JY? Wanting to decide if I'll make it to this one.

The solo committee voted to count the best run from Saturday morning and the best run from Saturday evening and combine them to get our class winners and Sunday runs will be for the shootout only.

Shifter Karts are a no go on the track laps.
