Summerfest 2014

On July 19, 2014 the Virginia Section will host a High Speed Driving Event on North Carolina’s Center for Automotive Research’s road course. This road course is ideally situated in Garysburg, NC and features a 40 feet wide bi-directional freshly paved road course with a ½ mile straightaway, 11 constant radius turns and large grassy run-off areas. There is no competition for times or trophies but a lot of fun to be had. Virtually any car is fully capable of handling this type of event. 

You must have a valid driver's license to attend. You will be able to download a technical inspection form that your personal mechanic will perform before you leave home. All you need to bring is this and a Snell 2005 or later helmet.

We will have an at track safety inspection at the hotel on Friday night and at the track on Saturday morning.

This event is open to all makes and models and you do not have to be a MBCA club member to participate.  There will be a full day of track time and classroom instruction with 4-5 sessions in a non-timed HPDE set up. Car sharing is allowed with seperate registration for each driver.  This event will fill very quickly, so you will need to place your entry soon. The price for this full day at the race track is $99 for MBCA members and $149 for non-members. One year membership to MBCA is only $49 and includes many other benefits.
