About this event
Connecticut Autocross and Rally Team and SCCA New England Region are once again teaming up in 2018 to provide the best opportunities to get off your couch and spend a bunch of time on track. Our first track day and time trial event of the year is at our home track in Thompson Connecticut on May 5th. For only $300 you get a day filled with track time and the chance to see how you stack up against the other drivers in the time trial portion of the event. There is no need to be a track nut with a dedicated race car because novices are welcome and instructors will be available to anyone who wishes to have some instruction. So if you like spirited road driving and want to see what your car can do on the track this is a great event that is both relaxed and has an emphasis fun. For more information and final registration please go to www.cartct.com and click on the track day info drop down menu.
