NEW FOR FALL 2026
We heard the feedback from our Open Track community. One of the biggest concerns has been registering for an event and wondering whether enough other drivers will sign up for the day to happen.
For the time being, we're taking that uncertainty away.
If an Open Track Day is posted on our schedule, we plan to run it regardless of the number of pre-registered drivers.
- There is no minimum number of pre-registered drivers required for a posted Open Track Day.
- An empty or small registration list does not mean the event is canceled.
- If you're planning to drive, we still strongly encourage registering online in advance. It helps our team prepare for the day and saves you money.
- If no drivers are on-site by the start of Tech Inspection at 8:00 AM, Open Track operations will close for the day.
- Drivers arriving without advance registration may still register on-site, space permitting, at the $350 Day-of rate.
If it's posted, we're planning to be here. If you're planning to drive, get registered and come join us!

A FEW FINAL REMINDERS
