The Event in Summary
We are please to announce that we have made arrangements to have our fall event in conjunction with the Phil Wicks Driving Academy.
The Fall 2004 event will be held at Carolinas Motorsports Park just south of Kershaw, South Carolina, on Saturday November 13 and Sunday November 14, 2004.
It is an instructional event. Instructors will be available. Classroom/course instruction is mandatory for everyone as always. Driving instruction is mandatory for novices and available for intermediate and experienced drivers.
There will be other cars at the event. Superformance owners will run in their own run groups provided of course that we have sufficient registrations to fill the run groups, which we expect to do.
If registrations and number of novices warrant, the course will be divided on Saturday with novices on the short course and intermediate and experienced drivers on the long course. On Sunday the courses will be combined for the full course for all drivers.
The event will be held under the supervision of the Phil Wicks Driving Academy.
You are encouraged to register for the event and to get your hotel room as quickly as possible.
The Track - Carolina Motorsports Park
The challenging and entertaining CMP track is 2.235 miles long with 14 turns (10 right and 4 left) from 33 degrees to 135 degrees. Three of the straights are over 1000 feet, so there is some room to air it out. The section from turn 10 through turn 14 is tight and technically challenging. The section from turn 10 back to turn 14 is fast and exciting. An opportunity to learn and to have some fun on every lap.
CMP has been designed and built with competitor and worker safety as prime parameters and features wide run off areas backed up by sand traps. In the few places where space is tight, tire walls have been constructed.
