2011 Race At Charlotte Motor Speedway - Format?

Will open tomorrow on DLB. Supps and schedule (Without Sanction number) if you want to see the format. Garage rentals will open next week and will be on first come basis. Cup and Nationwide are both available for $100 for the weekend. Track will let us know early next week if they are going to offer a test day.

This site will not let me upload PDF, sorry.

With a big thanks to Chris Braunlich I will be coming down from Cleveland, Ohio to race. This will be my first time at Charlotte Motor Speedway and I am looking forward to it.

Steve,
How are the garages being handled as far as reserving them goes.Will the track handle it or will the Region handle it . Looking forward to getting one ,especially if we have the heat we're having now.
Thanks for your (everyone involved) hard work getting us back at Charlotte.
Chris
 
The region is handling the garages. I think we will just number them with a map on DLB and let you pick on a first come basis. Either way they will not be posted until next week so all are still available. I swear it was 30 degrees cooler just stepping inside them. We met with track officials Wednesday and finalized layout for grid. There are 100 ft long parking spaces in front of every garage but we will be using 50 ft of some of the Nationwide garages for grid so we will get people with smaller rigs to use those. It has been a lot of work by many people to go back after 5 years away, but it will be worth it.
 
When I access DLBracing.com, I can get to the CMS race listing. However, when I try to register all that comes up is the registration for the Memorial Monster race (which is listed as "closed"). I don't know if that is just a placeholder and the real CMS registration is still not up or if there was a mistake and the wrong stuff is on the site. In any case, I can't register. Help.
 
Try hitting "calendar" on the right side of the top bar. Then hit August 20, and it shows up. I've since tried it a bunch of other ways and it didn't come up for me either. I must have just gotten lucky.:)
 
Have a little patience, nobody has your number yet.:D Impatiently waiting on sanction number but they are out of office in Kansas until tomorrow. Everything is a go.

Sessions

Here is the schedule as best I can copy and paste. We will qualify all groups, then race the Saturday SARRC races. Next will be Sunday Sarrc qualifier. Break for dinner and run Group 1 big bore under lights followed by a 45 min CCPS under the lights.

Second CCPS will run first thing after noon on Sunday with a 10 minute warm up to check car and bed brakes after Saturday night race. Then we will run the remaining SARRC groups to finish Sunday.

Looks like I am the first registered according the entry list. Never registered for 2 drivers splitting SARRC and CCPS, how is this done, does the second driver have to register for the event under their own account?
 
Just email Vicki what you plan to run and we can fix it from the registrars side. We will both be without computer access until later tomorrow so expect a reply then.
 
My memory is not that good, or it has been a really long time since racing at CMS. Question, Are the garage spaces big enough for two cars to share, or is it clearly only enough room for one car?
 
Chris, you have Travers old car right? He was very competitive in it last ITS race at Charlotte -- I think you will have fun.

I'm signed up. Mark -- it's pretty easy to find on DLB now.

Tom L -- that ITS car of yours would love the banking!

Thats correct Jeff, I have Travers old car. Can't wait, have a good friend coming down from Cleveland to split the double/double. Hoping to have the car more reliable with a stock fuel tank and some other minor things cleaned up. Of course the best bang for the buck is new tires:happy204:
 
Excellent.

I'll be disappointed if we have less than 15 S cars, although we have 5 signed up already and Mssrs. Hines, Parrish, Parrish, Mackaman, Eckerich and Thompson are not on the list. That makes 10 right there.
