About this event
THSCC Track is Back!
The track will go hot as the fall weather gets cooler! After a nearly two-year hiatus, the Tarheel Sports Car Club is excited to bring back an HPDE format to a track near the heart of our club!
NCCAR is a great track for novices learning the basics of breaking down a corner, learning the limits of the car, yourself, while also providing intermediate and advanced drivers a brilliant opportunity to hone those same skills to higher levels on a course with a lot of safe runoff areas!
We will be running the counter-clockwise direction with the new peanut cut-across for both of our days. We'll also see our traditional run groups organized by experience, with instruction provided for our newest members to help acclimate you to track day driving and get better, safer, sooner!
Classroom sessions will be available for more in-depth breakdowns of novice to advanced concepts as well!
