About this event
Come, join NCR at the exciting Club Motorsports track in Tamworth, NH for our 3 day DE event in early September.
2.5 miles in length with a 40 ft wide surface, 15 turns, undulating 250 ft elevation changes, this track provides a thrilling driving experience as well hosts some scenic views of Mt Chocorua and the Whites which we hope you would wait until your cool down lap to do your look see.
Friday is an advanced day for Red, Black and White run groups.
On Friday, long time NCR member, Ellen Beck, from PCA National will be conducting a National Instructor DE Training Program which consists of a combination of class room and on-track mentoring sessions. The program provides training in the methodology that PCA would like their DE Instructors to use with students to create uniform standards in our program.
All Instructors and Instructor Candidates are urged to participate.
Saturday noon we will be hosting Parade Laps for those that would like an on track experience with their favorite ride. Laps will be paced and the nominal fee goes to Make A Wish our favorite charity. So, fill the car up with mom/dad and the kids if you so chose and give it a whirl as it is a great way to get a taste of the track.
Saturday and Sunday is open to all run groups.
