About this event

Palmer Motorsports Park Again with NEQ September 12 & 13, 2016 - Something Different

So Club Motorsports won't be ready this year.  Too bad.  We will get there next year.  In the mean time, the NEQ has come up with a great event to fill those dates you blocked off months ago: we will be returning to one of our favorite tracks: Palmer Motorsports Park...but with a twist.

This event is a two day high performance driving school.  

The first day will be the traditional format open to all students and instructors.  

The second day will be open to solo students and instructors only.  

Students and Instructors may sign up for one day or both days.  Solo students signing up for the advanced day will be waitlisted for approval. 

Student costs:

Monday only (open to all) - $295

Tuesday only (advanced solo only) - $295

Both days (advanced solo only) - $525

Instructor costs:

Monday - no charge

Tuesday only - $295

Both days - $250

Have questions about this format?  Don't know if you are an "advanced solo" student? Please contact the eventmaster Douglas Cowieson at NEQpalmer@medaccessintl.com for help!


 

Sitting on Whiskey Hill 7 miles off the Mass Turnpike is Palmer Motorsports Park, the
first private road racing course in Massachusetts. Designed for driver training, vehicle
testing and motorsports, Palmer Motorsports Park offers the ultimate pavement to
pursue your passion for racing and speed.

PMP Whiskey Hill Raceway:  2.3 miles long, 40-feet wide, over 190 feet of elevation.
Designed by grassroot racers and professional track designers and carved out of 
Whiskey Hill granite, (courtesy of J Read Corporation )  the road course is a 
15-turn rollercoaster ride around a scenic and secluded alpine wilderness.

Registration and Tech inspection will take place at the Sturrbridge Host Hotel on Sunday evening, September 11 between four and six pm.  . While this is the preferred option, Tech will also be open Monday morning at the track but timing will be critical, so come Sunday afternoon, relax, check out the other cars and meet your fellow drivers.

Tech pre-Inspection

Well in advance of any on-track driving event, you'll need to get your car pre-inspected by a competent mechanic, who will have to provide a completed and signed copy of the Safety Inspection Checklist form (first page only) for you to bring with you to registration. Please get your car inspected at least two weeks before the event to avoid disappointment if the inspection uncovers repairs that must be completed before the car will pass.
 

The Northeast Region Quattro Club recognizes several Audi-VW tuners and service centers. They are NEQ supporters with years of experience and scores of satisfied customers. As a benefit for NEQ members they will provide free tech pre-inspection for applicants of our schools. Bring your Safety Inspection Checklist form. After inspection they will sign your form to be sure you are eligible for our event. Naturally there will be a charge for any parts or labor that are additionally required to prepare your vehicle. Two of these sites are APR distributors. They are all participants of our events with much experience in regard to car preparation and advice for upgrades. You will also be happy with the services of any Audi dealership but may utilize another dealership or full-time automotive repair shop at whatever rate you agree to . . . ........     . Be sure to call for appointments well in advance of an event.
