I am thinking about moving to Asheville, NC and need to know if there are any tracks I can race on. I've only raced BFR and Road America, so I only know of the CCS. Will I need to think about WERA or some other race association? Or am I going to drive days to get to a track? :'(
I think it all depends on what you mean by "near". Road Atlanta is in Georgia, as well as Roebling Road Raceway. There are a few others that are less than 8 hours away, like Jennings and Daytona...
Then again, you also have "the dragon" to slay...
lowe119 I live in hickory NC tracks are as follows, some may be closer or farther by an hour or two from you, i'm about an hour and a half from asheville.
VIR Alto va. up hwy 29 east 6 or so miles on 58, about 2 1/2 to 3 from hickory
Road Atlanta Non ccs about 3-4 from hickory
Roebling Road east on 26 south on 95 about 5 hours
Barber Motorsports 85 south 20 towards birmingham about 6.5 (take in mind time change)
Jennings Fla. 85 to 75 about 7-8 hours
Carolina Motorsports Kershaw sc non ccs 77s to 521 south to kershaw 2 at most.
Wera also go to memphis about 9-10 hours
Asheville has some great riding, including Jamie James diner down in Black Mt. off 40.
Come on down and good luck on your move, need any help give us a jingle. Sawyer
Thanks. I won't be moving right away, but it's nice to see I won't have to give up this great sport. When you say "non ccs" - how can I race there? Pro only? Other?
non ccs = WERA
Non CCS means WERA. :p The SE schedule runs VIR, Roebling, Jennings and Barber. You could also run the NC which I know runs Summit, but not sure what other tracks. I know WERA SE runs more tracks. They have Road Atlanta, CMP (Kershaw) and Talladega.
You can get on all of these tracks with one track day org or another.
