About this event
Join us for a Mid Summer Romp at NHMS. The track is the site of many televised races, including Nextel Cup. What is not usually shown on TV is their 1.6 mile road course with 12 turns and some exciting elevation changes making for a good learning environment for Novices and a challenging and technical drive for Advanced drivers.
Saturday is a special day. as we will be hosting a function for our designated charity, Make A Wish Foundation (MAW). At noon we will be hosting the ever popular Make a Wish Parade Laps. For a nominal fee which goes to Make A Wish you can expose your family or friends to a taste of the track at a paced speed. In addition to an hour of lapping the track in your own car, you will be helping to put a smile on the faces of the many children attending.
We are also accepting outright donations to the Make A Wish Foundation.
We are also selling high quality, long sleeve commemorative T shirts for $20. The T shirts must be pre-ordered, so, if you would like one, please include it in your registration.
The will be a garage beer and wine social at the conclusion of Saturdays activities.
