Default 3 days at Tamworth! Sept 6,7,8

North Country Region PCA will be running a 3 day DE at the beautiful new 2-1/2 mile track in Tamworth NH. Club Motorsports is a 40’ wide paved track with lots of elevation change and runoff at this excellent venue. Sign up now while we still have some spots available in most run groups. Friday is an advanced day for white, black and red run groups only. Saturday after the track goes cold we will have a social at the track with ****’devours and drinks provided. More info at NCR-PCA.org or register at MotorsportReg.com

Looks like the only reg option is 3 separate registrations for the 3 days at $275/day, so yes, $825 for the 3 days.

Maybe there is a different option for registration? Is there a 3 day reg option or is it $825 regardless?

I'm interested in registering as well (Romanowski was trying to talk me into it at The Glen a couple weeks ago).

Is $825 the only registration option?

Thanks...

This is an amazing track with a great flow, big elevation changes, lots of runoff, and great mountain scenery. It's my favorite New England track. If you haven't driven Tamworth yet, you need to get yourself up there.

Will we get to use the large center paddock this year?

Last year I needed my bicycle to "commute" from the instructor's paddock to where my student was parked.

A few answers. Yes, it’s $275/ day and worth every penny. The infrastructure is still a bit lacking and the main paddock is still gravel, but graded smooth this year. We will be usuing the satellite parking areas again so bring your bicycle or scooter.

I was there early June for 4 sessions of 35 min each. Going in I thought 35 was going to be too long on track. No way. Not going to pit unless flag/game over. I did come in a few laps early at the end of the day. Maybe 1? Awaiting times for trailer drop Thursday.

Can't wait, Dennis!!

And too - I think NCR is the only PCA Region to hold a DE at this venue? It's a bit of why I'm excited to get up there this season....! Also - as I understand, this is also your annual event supporting Make-A-Wish which, if I could harness the smiles from all those kids - well, that's an amazing experience for all involved...

Anyway - this event will rock it.... Awesome.... Just awesome...

See you soon!!

Anybody know the timetable for when the upper paddock will get paved? PITA to have trailer and car in 2 different lots. To make matters worse some clueless clown had his trailer at the far end of that lot and decided it was OK to drive across the dirt at 30 kicking up clouds of dust.

You can’t fix stupid, but if that happens at our event and is brought to our attention, that driver will be be ejected. When you get there Thursday you will be directed to park in one of the paved lots on the east side of the property.
