*** All marques are welcome! ***
Hurricane Region PCA has slots available in their Friday Orientation and Lapping Day (May 12) at Rockingham. Brief classroom and in-car instruction sessions for those drivers new to Rockingham will be provided after the drivers meeting. The reminder of Friday will be open driving sessions for all participants. Passing rules are in effect for the four ample passing zones, although traffic delays are unlikely with the low track density. Friday is open to all instructors or drivers with at least ten schools and prior solo on-track experience. Friday Fee is $150 + $5 lunch (optional).

The Driving School on Saturday and Sunday (May 13-14) also has open slots in all run groups. Novices are encouraged to sign up, as well as experienced drivers. Carla is returning as our excellent classroom instructor. A tire expert will present tire tips and recommendations in Saturday afternoon classroom sessions.

Welcome to NSXPrime Coco.:smile:

For those of you who do not know Coco and her husband Phil, they are the backbone of the mid Atlantic track addict family, and of course without Coco's fabulous website, www.trackschedule.com, how would we know when and where to go to spend all of our "discretionary" income

I found an image of the road course incorporating much of the banked oval here:

http://www.na-motorsports.com/Tracks/NC/images/rockingham.gif

The track is a 1.02 mile oval with an infield cut-through for the road course, about 1.5 miles total. Turns 1 and 2 have 22 degree banking and turns 3 and 4 have 25 degree banking - so when you drive out of the infield you are looking up at a 25 degree bank.

The surface used to be quite rough and hard on tires. Don't know about today. I believe that NASCAR stopped running there in 2004.
