About this event
MPH will be hosting a pre-NASA Practice session on Friday, Sept 11, immediately preceding the 2026 NASA MidAmerica & Rocky Mountain Regional event. This will give you some time on track to get both you and your car "dialed in" before the NASA event starts Saturday AM. This event is open ONLY to NASA-registered HPDE 3/4 drivers, HPDE instructors, Time Trial and Racers.
General Schedule for Friday's Practice:
10 AM: Gate Opens for participant load in / RV parking
12:30 PM: Driver's Meeting
1 - 5 PM: Track hot
Note: because this is strictly a "PRACTICE only", the hot track sessions will be operated under our MPH Guardrail Club driving rules: Three passing zones with point-bys required (See map below). Pit road may be used for tire pressure/temperature adjustments and MINOR vehicle adjustments. NO JACKSTANDS on pit road. No passengers.
