Another member and I are entertaining the idea of tracking our cars at a road course. I'm finding tracks but they don't let cars on them,more or less just spectating. What do you guys do down there?

I didn't know that they had paved roads down in Alabama yet!

I found that place but couldn't find anywhere it said that you could bring your car and what admission was.

But what event? SCCA is the only one? These seems very different in comparison to VIR lol

The only way to get on to Barber (in fact many road courses) is to go with a club or HPDE. Very few (particularly the major venues) will just open their doors and let you on and drive. Look in to PCA, NASA, NCM. These aren't go kart tracks where you just buy a ticket and wring out your car. Track rental is very expensive.

Is this different from how VIR operates?

I've only been to VIR for a HPDE with the Corvette Museum. Don't know if they have open track days.

Chin has an event this weekend at Barber but it is sold out.

PBOC has an event at Barber on Nov. 19 & 20 and has plenty of space.

So what is wrong with racing in the Alabama mud? Just have to get that '63 pontiac tempest. Ask cousin Vinny.

NCCC usually has an event at Roebling Road near Savannah GA on Thanksgiving weekend.
